A dark shadow approaches on a eerie night

Long fangs glinting, with a smile of delight

Stalking circles around the house

Ever so silent, more so than an mouse

Slinking through an open window

Agile with weapon in tow

Silver blade glinting in the moonlight

With this it's assured, there will be no fight

The shadow gracefully lands

Inside the house, blade in hand

Without a sound nor creak

The shadow silently sneaks

Up the winding staircase

Like a flowing dance with perfect grace

At the top, the shadow stops to listen

Eagerly the tongue swipes across teeth that glisten

Advancing slowly down the hall

Great anticipation, no need to stall

The bedroom door opens slowly

The shadow grimaced at the sight that is unholy

Two lovers sharing a happy bed

It is known the two, will soon be dead

Against the man's neck, the blade seems to smile

As the blade quickly begins to defile

White sheets quickly turn red

The bed stirs, woman looks up at shadow with dread

The shadow approaches with a huge grin

As he thinks up the soon to be sin

Gripping the woman's arm

Brown eyes, flash with alarm

Thrown into the wall

Sickening crack heard as she begins to fall

Neck snapped upon a chair

Hung over glazed lifeless eyes, is blond hair

The shadow smiled at the mess he made

All the while licking the bloodied blade

Suddenly bedroom door opens, toddler is seen

The shadows eyes begin to gleam

Leaping towards terrified child

The screams were nothing less than mild

Blood splattered across the room

Shadow leaps out window, silhouetted by the moon
