A Dark Insanity

Stranger things happen Than what's just happened to me! Walking past a house I saw an image there In the dormer window looking I noticed the burn of her stare As I stood to take a look She just vanished in thin air The windows blackened up Anyone could see that no one was living there. The building tempted me to approach But I just didn't dare. I knew something was there By the atmosphere of the air. As I moved away the image faded back Only half seen. Like she was holding back? I turned my head sharply with a focused track to catch her looking at me. She smiled and disappeared I smiled an inner smile, I acknowledged that I was still free. By not turning that key, I'd stayed away from what would be to me a dark insanity.
