Say to the Monsters

he wakes in terror
nightmare
the scare has him shaking
the dark his eyes scan
can I sleep in his bed
said another hug please
these stuffed animals live
give them away 
stay, for a minute and do
you have scary dreams?
screams out again
they won't stop scaring me
see the black on the wall?

call out again and I'll be mad
sad that I said that, but 
cut out the crying
trying, I tell him, you
do what I do, again
when you dream, you may
say to the monsters
go away
