Once Upon a Midnight Dreary

Once upon a midnight dreary
While I pondered weak and weary
Dozing off in blissful sleep
In the distance came a weep

I tried to shake it from my head
But cries came louder to my dread
The cries beyond my chamber door
Came louder and louder evermore

I quickly drew up to my feet
To see whom at late hours weeps
But when I took a look around
To my surprise, naught was found.

Naught within my chamber room
Naught but sounds of midnight gloom
Just dark shadows all around
Just me and silence, a deafening sound

I sit back down to rest again
I bid goodnight, but that's just when
The cries come back, louder now.
I wish to ignore, but don't know how

A bit annoyed, I shut my eyes
But then the cries, to my despise
Turn to screams, at which I rise
Screams of terror, screams of lies

I look around for whom it could be
But no one's in sight, no one but me.
I drop down to the stone cold floor
And beg for it to go on no more

But that is when I finally realize
I am a victim of my own demise
I can't escape, how hard I try
The room is empty it's only I
