Scaring Myself

I tiptoe through the darkness as silent as the night, My ears attuned to any sound, there’s not a soul in sight; Goosebumps prickle across my skin as panic washes over me, I hear the slightest noise ahead and I strain my eyes to see; My uneasy breathing fogs the air as my heart pounds on in dread, I stand in the black frozen in fear, my feet have turned to lead; I shiver uncontrollably as I wait in the dark alone, Terror grips my heart as I prepare to face the unknown; I’m poised on the balls of my feet ready to bolt into the night, Then as I’m getting ready to make a dash, my hubby flips on a light!
