Terrified By a Light House
The wind is cathartic
Makes her feel loved
Reminds her of her childhood
She sees the lighthouse
A place that terrified her during her youth
For it is where her uncle lived
She knew better than to get too close
Feeling his pedophilic tendencies
Almost before he knew they were there
She suspected he was the Lighthouse killer
And possibly this was the lighthouse
She tiptoed past quickly
Even though he was long gone,
There was an evilness about this place
She heard the screams of young women every time she passed it.
