This one turned out a little creepier than expected...

Complicit

sometimes there is a shadow

lurking at the door

sometimes it's a heart

beat-beating

in the space beneath

the floor

sometimes there is a spider

tangled up in her own webs

sometimes there is a murderer

buried deep in his own bed

once in a while,

there is a smiling face

peering out

from the mirror glass

and sometimes,

you are the author

of what has come

to pass.
