Halloween // Don't move

​

Don't move a muscle

Don't cough or sneeze

Reaching for your pistol

Buttoned in its sheath

​

Don't blink an eye

I think it smells your breath

It wants to hear you cry

This surely means your death

​

It's stalking out of sight

Your legs begin to shake

So still, jaw clenched tight

Your bones feel like they'll break

​

It's prowling in the shadows

It's teeth flash for a second

Your walking in the gallows

Its drooling jaws, they beckon

​

But then you seem to figure

That maybe it's polite

You stop going for your trigger

Show it compassion, it might not bite

​

In fact maybe it's just purring

What you heard was not a growl

It's just caution that is stirring

It was just throwing in the towel

​

Confidently you reach

Your hand you hope it takes

Finally you eyes they meet

And you realize … you've made a big mistake.
