Hiding in an empty room

Hiding in an empty room

To have a minute with myself -

I sat on a plush chair

And sank about as low as I felt.

Heaving, I lied, saying

In my head - All is well.

Ticklish electricity then

Stirred the surrounding air.

Slowly, I felt the sensation

As of a fly entangled in my hair

Except two little tugs followed.

I turned - alas - nobody there!

Sounds like a poltergeist.

An angel tugged on my hair. It used to be really long. Like your user name, btw.

Kind of scary in a fun and poetic way.
