Darkness in the night

A chill air awoke me,

And I pulled my blankets tight.

The booze was running strong,

It had been a good night.

I felt sick and tried to sleep again,

Relaxed and breathed a sigh.

The room was dark and silent,

But I could still taste the rye.

I laid dazed and lazy,

But something was not right.

I felt the need to investigate,

The darkness in that night.

I sat up and rubbed my eyes,

And looked over the site

When I didn't see anything,

A fear crept up inside.

I knew something was wrong,

In this time of the night.

Now I want to know,

Every bit and every bite.
