I check the locks
And they are bolted shut
And I check them again
And again
Satisfied
I go to bed
And a voice whispers
'Check them again'
I ignore it
Try to sleep
But the voice keeps getting louder
'Check them again
Check them again'
Until I do
A fourth a fifth a sixth time
And go to sleep
And this time
There is no whisper
That grows into a scream
