The night at Buffy's

scare me...

A night of dark sky with shining pearls

me and my best-friend walking in swirls

lonely roads through a silent forest

detached, looked like a fallen floret

We paved our way to the only restaurant 

found and open in the sizzling haunts

been travelling on this road for every week

never seen this place, not a peek

sat at the corner with a scary feeling

weird people around, weird noises from the ceiling

a menu with dish names never heard

thought this place was a bit absurd

Amelia, she ordered her drink in seconds

as if she has been here every second

she, acting skeptic but i didn't judge

the drink smelled worse when looked like smudge 

the so called owner came to greet

she acted uncanny and weird and sweet

"today will be a party, we got something big for dinner"

announced the owner, looking at Amelia with a glimmer

Amelia went to the restroom to rearrange her

i took a breath of comfort as if she was a stranger

and a message popped in my phone with a squeak

"Amelia says", "sorry, couldn't go with you this week"

P.s- it was hard to make up a horror story!

Oh wow! The poem is wrapped with a sense of mystery, the plot twist in the end makes it even more intriguing to read and later ponder. And the form of storytelling is very powerful along with the perfectly-flowing rhyme scheme. Absolutely beautiful!
