A shudder in the dark
In a nightmare scene
Trepidation caused
By a howl and a scream
Many understand
This is a frightening theme
Not a nice cosy little dream
But a paranormal horror
That beggars beyond belief
A twisted face and gnashing teeth
Testing your spiritual belief
Fearing all will end in grief
Something wicked lays underneath
Waiting to devour
And feast in your soul
Something hideous
And out of control
Floorboards creak
And old doors groan
Chilling you too
The very maarow of your bones
Wondering what lays in wait next
Just then a garrote
Slips around your neck
Your airway constricts
And your rich deep hot blood flows
And death will follow next
This is a nightmare that will test you yet
You wake up and see the scar round your neck
Proving that you participated and that maybe you are blessed
But don’t get complacent yet
Because you’ve moved from this world into the next.
