Into the Night
WALKING DOWN AN OLD DIRT ROAD
MY INTESTINES FEEL SUCH A SHIVER.
THE FULL MOON IS BIG AND BOLD
IT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD MAN’S LIVER.
I WALK PAST THE STARLIT LAKE
THERE’S A STRANGE FEELING I HAVE.
I FEEL SO STRANGE, FOR GOODNESS SAKE
ON THE INSIDE, I AM GOING MAD.
I HEAR THE ECHO OF SHAKING TREES
THE TWIGS MAKE A FREAKY SOUND.
BUT WHEN ONE BREAKS, I BEGIN TO FLEE
AND AFTER I HIDE BEHIND A STONE, LOOKING ALL AROUND.
I STEP INTO AN ABANDONED HOUSE
IN THE CLOSET, THE BATS ARE WAKING.
I HEAR A NOT A NOISE, NOT EVEN A MOUSE
NOR A CRICKETS SONG IS PLAYING.
I SEE A STRANGE CREATURE AND WALK DOWN THE STAIRS
A SHADOW I SEE WITH FRIGHT.
AND SUDDENLY, WITH SO MUCH FEAR
I QUICKLY DISAPPEAR INTO THE NIGHT.
