A Midnight Goodbye

A Midnight Goodbye

I open my eyes feeling full of fear.

I just know that something or someone is here.

All I see is pitch black like the night sky,

But then I feel an angry glare right behind my ear.

I progressively turn my head around,

To spot a figure a little over the ground.

I squint my eyes to make sure this isn't real,

I see nothing at all but hear a distant sound.

The sound gets more deafening as I approach my door.

The hairs on my neck stand up like dominoes on the floor.

My heart is a snare drum as I start to freak,

Then sweat forms on my forehead faster than before.

I hesitate and take a few steps back to my bed.

I close my eyes and sleep instead.

I wake up to realize this was just a dream,

Or was she mistaken because I heard a scream.

Poor girl, she was all alone.

But I feel no pity!

She’s dead and you’ll never know.
