Creatures of the Night

Creepers in the dark,
lurking, skulking, waiting,
pounce upon the innocent,
the frail, unsuspecting,
shadows are their sunlight,
alleyways their trodden path,
they know these roads like skin and bones,
and will make you feel their wrath.

Too grotesque for empathy,
too hungry to regret,
the creatures will devour you,
and no one will suspect
that monsters roam the human realm,
a plague hidden in plain sight,
so stay under your blankets, child,
or you may die this night.
