Moving in the Darkness

They are crawling up the walls

You even see them on the floor

They are even there when you open the door

Everywhere you look it seems like more and more

Some think they are something to deplore

No matter what there seem to be coming out galore

Just as well they don't make the law

They will certainly scare you to the core

Moving in a row

They emit a strange glow

You can't get away no matter where you go

Hide anywhere but they will know

You would still be seen even if you hid in the shallows

Or maybe even behind the gallows

Doesn't seem like they are after your marshmallows

They will just remain as shadows

For Fun
