The Ugly Leprechaun


I am an ugly Leprechaun;
I follow you around.
I watch you through the window,
from not too far away.
I take my pointy fingernails,
and brush them through your hair.
When you are sleeping
I can see you there.

My heart is torn and tattered
for I desire you.
I am an ugly Leprechaun
hopelessly in love with you.
I've been around for centuries,
but always by your side.
I see you when you're laughing and
I see you when you cry.

I am an ugly Leprechaun
who comes within the night
to steal your dreams
for life.
I walk within the darkness
and shy away from Light.
I want your body;
I want your skin.
I want to take your soul.

You cannot look upon me,
or my distorted face,
for I am so very ugly
that you would only faint .
I hate it when you pray,
it frightens me away.

Your Guardian Angel protects
you from my pointy claws,
and keeps me at a distance
when I look at you in awe.
I want to take you with me
to a darkened land,
where you can be my Princess
and meet my other friends.

You saw me once
when you were a child,
in my black trench-coat,
and ran to tell your Mom.
But, she did not believe you,
or nor your sisters too.
I was that ugly Leprechaun
who frightened you.

I am an ugly Leprechaun
who comes to possess your soul.
I lurk within the darkness
admiring you so.
If only there was no Jesus
to keep you safe from me.

I gaze upon you sleeping
and in your waking hours.
If you care to stumble,
especially when you stray,
I'll be there to catch you,
with a kiss of death along the way.
When you are not with Jesus
I'll carry you away.
When you're not with Jesus
I'll just carry you away.
