He stood on the opposite side of the door
Just standing there
A clown in the hallway
Feeling squirmy and chilled with fear
I squeezed and lept back
“I ain’t goin’ near…” slipped as a whisper cause if it’d hear
I’d be over
As, just standing there was
A clown in the hallway
Lighter than down, I stepped on the adjacent tile of the kitchen
A slow frown spread quick at the sound of the metal sliding through the air,
Whooshing inches near my gown, slinging slowly and fair
Because
Just standing there was
A clown in the hallway
That stiffened smile sent chills down my spine
For its way too big to be honest
No one is that happy all of the time
Quick thinking through my mind to find the bravery stored deep in the freezer near fine
As, just standing there was
A clown in the hallway
Calling upon the same heavens I had mocked in the past
I approached the door steady and fast to startle and defeat the cause of my personal cast of nightmares
As, just standing there was
A clown in the hallway
A quick leap forward caused the glass to break as a knife doesn’t do too well against mirrors.
