Skeleton Poem by Venessa Glover

I am the echo in the trees.
I am the shadow that moves when no one there.
I am the red eyes under your bed.
That make you fear what I have planned ahead.
I am the reason the sun goes down, and why you cry at night.
So I hope your dreams are full of fright.
Can you hear me breathing?
I'm somewhere in your room, and tonight I'm coming after you.
Your getting warmer.
I can hear you heart beat.
But I must warn you before I defeat.
That you brought this on yourself, on that cold winter night seven years ago.
So you remember now.
Remember me?
I'm the girl that cired for mercy.
But did you listen? Did you even stop?
I don't think so, and thanks alot.
I've been waiting for my revenge, and now my death covers your hands.
So walk to the closet, and open the door.
Because your life will soon be no more.
Do you see me in the back?
The most recent skeleton on top of the stack.
I must say my friend you have some secrets I have cracked.
So next time you add a skeleton to your closet.
Make sure the other one's mouths are quiet.
