Last night was very strange
I felt a little afraid
God only knows why
Or how my fear was made?
I could not get to sleep
Nor did I want to move
Felt I wasn't alone
Too scared to look to prove
I just lay there
Kept my eyes shut tight
For if I looked up
The THE might give a fright
They say 3 in the morning
Is when the devil rides high
I knew it was early hours
So I let time tick on by
It felt like eyes were there
Intently watching me so
The fear had me gripped
And didn't want to let go
The THE was in my room
I felt its presence inside
I did not want to see it
Under my duvet I did hide
I even got cross
Told it to go and get lost
I hope it doesn't return
Because I made it cross
So tonight I hope
That the THE stays away
I'll have to say a prayer
To keep its presence at bay
