All Hallows Eve
Gaze up at the stars,
they glitter brighter on this night,
the moon is full and shines it's silver light,
the sound of doorbells ring on every block,
cars rush passed and run over every tiny rock,
when the time to trick-or-treat ends,
the time comes to call my friends,
i call, and get no answer,
instead i get this voice on the other line,
i hear shaky breathing...oh yeah, that breathing is mine,
the voice asks, "what do you fear the most?"
i do not answer, i am frozen in my own tantalizing thoughts,
"take your time to answer my dear, i've all the time i could have"
with a shaky voice i reply, "what do you mean? 'what do i fear the most?"
the voice laughed a husky throated laugh,
it sent shivers down my spine and goose flesh along my skin,
the voice does not answer, but hangs up and leaves the dial tone to ominously play,
i put the phone in it's cradle and walk to my room,
unable to sleep this All Hallows Eve away.
