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.
