Sleeping with the lights on

Sleeping with the lights on

A Poem by Deborah Leah Krempa

S leeping with the lights on so afraid of the dark

L ingering thoughts of ghostly apparitions

E nvading my dreams with hauntings of spirit beings

E very evening I lay here in fear so afraid of the dark

P eeking out from beneath the cover's of my bed

I  tremble and shake at thought of what happened here

N ot so very long ago death came to this house

G hosts of the past they are taunting me

 

W hilst I lay awake shuddering at thought of it

I  am afraid to get out of bed to turn on the light

T he sounds of silence are broken by an eerie sound

H earing the howling winds scream outside my window

 

T here are shadows floating around my room

H overing under the distant light of the moon

E vening shadows dancing in dark sillouettes

 

L aughter, I break out in hysterical laughter

I  can no longer control my emotions

G hosts of the past are taunting me

H aunting me

T onight

S leeping under the covers hiding from what I fear most

 

O n this stormy night that I too am a ghost

N ot so long ago death came to this house

A deep and powerful write of fear, the haunting death of the spirit, the soul, so graphic and a great piece of emotional disdain.
