A Ghost In the Night
There is this girl
she resides in my dreams
she is quite young
eight or nine it seems
i know not where she is from
nor why she appears
I know not what she wants
or why she is here
she scares me immensely
for her face is scarred and twisted
she sits in the corner
wanting what? I must of missed it
she wears a little white dress
frilly and pressed
with long dark hair
messy and stressed
I sit frozen in horror
as she sobs in the corner
blood stained tears drop to the floor
i want to bolt for the door, I can't take anymore
I can not help.
I know not what to do
I sit frozen in shock
right next to you
Our eyes meet, yours is a glare
I dare not move,for I am regretfully aware
she's just cold and lonely, a ghost in the night
wanting assurance, Everything will be alright
This is the first time I've written anything in a couple years. I love this site and the people that visit it. just wanted to do a little something with the upcoming holloween/day of the dead vibe to let everyone know I am in fact still here. this is something ive honestly dealt with and have had several nightmares about. Creepy stuff. Hope you enjoy!
