"You Will Have me Tonight"

Sitting here in solitude, watching time pass by on the clocks. The flames in the fireplace cease, and all is cold now, all is darkened... Vapor fairies dance before my lips with each shallow breath as I listen to the silence, interrupted by ticks and tocks... Then I see it upon the wall, movement beneath the fading paper. The lumps grow and creep along, and soon I see you, and then I fear you... The ticking clocks are in your eyes and you grin wide to reveal pink fangs, stained from your last meal, and now you want me... Before the next tick, you're at my side and your breath is rotten. Your icy fingers grip my pale arms and you hold me tight, you hold me close... You will have me tonight.
