Creepy!

The blanket of fog creaked

Going up the stairs,

The perverse shadow

On wall climbing.

Until, leaning over the bed

An image; a pallid woman

In long tattered dress, white.

Her face devoid of eyes and flesh

With mouth distorted, shrieking

Words in murmurs, evil.

Dried thin skin emaciated

On yellow ashen bones

while drawn tightly long

Wispy flowing black hair.

From her lacy sleeves

Hands like claws, 

Bones yellow lined

While talons cold reach out

Stretching the body withered

Scratching down my cheek deep.

With mutilated claws stretched

Moving, touching my flesh, my body

Shaken, the throat constricting

Shortness of breath.

I hear her words repeating

Her face bloodless, contorting

Looking paler and paler

Repeating words repeating with malice.

"Honey! Get Up!"

"You'll be late for work!"

"You'll be late for work"

"Get up!"

"Honey!"
