The Presence

(based on true events)

Footsteps on your landing is a very scary sound 

Creaking on the staircase when you know no-ones around

I'm sure this house is haunted my mother always said

We are definitely sharing with a presence that is dead.

She'd sometimes scream out loud and sometimes even cry

It's not easy sharing lodgings with someone that has died

She said she couldn't take no more she said she need rest

It's hard to get a wink of sleep,in a house you know's possessed

I wonder what these walls have seen before we came to stay

My Father said he didn't care as we are staying anyway

We are not alone she said there's a presence in the hall

My dad was in denial till a vase smashed on the wall.

Dad was never scared too much and he always chose to doubt

But it was on October night when something freaked him out.

It was on the stroke of 3am he heard the eerie screaming

He then told mum he's had enough lets collect our things were leaving.

i do very much like the story behind this because i am a huge fan of horror stories and movies alike. i do have one small qualm with this: the last line of your first stanza seems to be missing a syllable, and this makes the rythm of this piece fall off the rails for a moment. other than that, good write(:
