Rhia Madison Thomer Poet Couplet

The Midnight Scene

Nightmares hide under the bed
The pillow she sleeps on is stained red

Mascara is running down from her eyes
Sleepless torment, again she cries

The taste of metal along her tongue
Leaving the words and songs unsung

But the melody is always there
Left floating with her dreams in the air

Reach up to grab and try to touch 
But it seems she wished for too much

And the sounds ghosts are haunting the halls
The phone rings, it’s a stranger who calls

As to who she was and what she wants
No one knows but her voice taunts

Something inside that isn’t right
A monster hiding in the closet at night

Waiting to come out right on cue,
Tell me, is something still scaring you?
