Hallucinatrix
Building Haunted,
BEWARE!
it warned,
The sign hung crazy,
tilted,scorned.
All five of them broke inside
I stayed out
and they all died.
They all died and I ran off,
I heard a monster
laugh and cough.
He's tried to find me everyday
since that night I ran away.
He has big hands and burning hair
I wish I'd stayed away from there.
The others look out of his eyes
they haunt me and they mesmerize,
every one who stares their way,
I saw them waiting yesterday,
outside the schoolyard
in the park,
burning brightly in the dark.
The matches were not even mine
neither was the cherry wine
I ran back home but they all stayed
they lit a fire,
the music played.
They set the haunted house afire
but it became their funeral pyre.
The gang just wants me back again
The monsters' eyes say.....
"Come my Friend."
