In a Dark Room

I sat and waited, alone in a dark, dark room Only the moon light to lesson the gloom My heart beat frantically in my chest Knowing I would soon be put to a test… Then I felt a presence right next to me Something reached out and touched my knee I smelled the stench of death and decay Eyes that burned bright and hair of gray I knew this horror could only bring death And I screamed with the last of my breath Its bony claws lifted me to my feet Now my terror was nearly complete Shaking, being shaken, I came awake "It was a dream, stop screaming for heaven's sake" So just a dream, such a dream on Halloween night.. Such a horrific, glorious dream state fright….. .
