That Night
I'm not afraid of the dark I'm afraid of what I can't see
& that's everything that can hurt me
I ended up walking to a friend's house
I walked all the way up that hill
That creepy road up that hill
It seemed a decade before we reached his house
I started to walk back to my house with a flashlight I borrowed
Every house I looked back at seemed like the door was open
It seemed as if it was louring me in
Like there was a chant that seized me & wouldn't let go
I started walking to one
It was pitch black I had no eyes at the moment
It just wouldn't let go of me
It pulled & tugged it was strong
Whatever it was it was winning
I began to cry
All of a sudden it let go
I started to run in the only direction I found
I ran faster with each step
The wind was circling around me
Trying to whisper in my ear
But I couldn't hear a thing
It all went mute
I kept running
Each step I took someone else took a second step exactly with perfect prosicion
It was faster than me & it knew I knew that
It did it on purpose it filled my face with tremendous fear
It was walking right behind me just to frighten me
It smiled to see me like this
I was his favorite enemy I assumed since I was going along
Sadly it was real
I kept running
Finally I heard again
It sounded like I was screaming
I could only hear a little bit
I heard the whisper
It said to stop
So I did even though I didn't want too
It was controlling me
It hurts me
It actually kills me almost, to know this
I finally got the courage to turn around & catch a glance of what I didn't see
I felt it leave
I couldn't see a thing
But it was there
I finally reached my house I opened my front door I snuck back into my window
To sleep with a fear that was more than just priceless It was tattooed for life in my
memory that was awaken every time shadows broke upon my forehead
This made me
It is me
It has me trapped like no other
It dominated me to handle things I'm not prepared for
It's awful
It's the ghost of my graveyard
Where all my darkest deepest secrets are buried
It's awaiting my death soon & inpatient
It swallows me whole
It eats me alive
To soon go sane & kill my loved ones & every possession I've had
To think that this night would change my life forever
