The Basement (Dying to Meet You)

I'm sure we've all had a room in our homes that scared us as children. I may make a short story out of this one.

Come down

I'm so lonely

Down here

It's been a long time

Since I've seen you

Keep the lights out

Don't yell or make a sound

Come down here with me

Close your eyes

Walk into the dark

Trust me

I'm always waiting

Under the floor

Inside the walls

Waiting for you

Always waiting

Everywhere you look

Every shadow cast

You will never escape me

Incredibly haunting, I actually felt uneasy reading this poem. It's a fantastic piece of work, the first stanza really states that this is a creepy poem. Language is perfect, the last line really drives the point home.
Great piece of work.
