The Night Before Nightmare

It was half past midnight
And the child was asleep
Dreaming about the dead
Buried in the dark deep.

Demons came from the Abyss
To paint death on the skies
And reveal new horrors
To the child's glooming eyes.

But no one heard the cry
Coming from the child's room
When dark and cursed tears
Announced the child's doom.

In the morning one came
And saw under the bed
The child's mangled corpse
Drowned in bloody red.
