Are we alone?

Real short true story... this was me last night.

I could feel it… she was standing there watching me as I slept. Subconsciously I awoke to ask her if everything was ok but she didn't respond. I rolled over and looked up to see her shadow... she looked me in my eyes then walked away. Sometimes I forget I live alone but in reality we are never really alone are we?

Hi Aaron. I am not a great fan of prose in poetry, and so very seldom read it. You have written well and it was a pleasant read, but personally, I think that format lacks punch. I did love the wording, you got it right !!! just . . . I'm into structure, not reading books, I guess, alf

I hear ya buddy... I just had to get out what happened to me when I woke up... true story lol. Thanks for stopping by buddy

[alf]

Cool!! I'll keep reading your writes!!!!

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you buddy I appreciate that

[Bluefire]

Nope, never.
Is this a true story?
Intriguing.

[AaronFreitas]

Yes it is... also on a different night woke up with scratches on my upper back/shoulder and a little blood on my blanket. No fun I probably need some holy water or something but it's been good lately :)

[Bluefire]

Oh, but as soon as you let your gaurd down it'll get nasty again. x3
I wake up with scratches and bruises all the time, but then I have cats jumping all over me like a trampoline all night.

This was super scary and an absolutely spot on writeup! Now I'll probably be afraid to sleep alone or what I think of as ''alone'' :'D I especially liked the way you used ''subconsciously'' to depict that the experience was out of the physical world. Beautifully written, Aaron! Hats off! :)

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you very much Bushra.... I was hoping it would be a little scary haha... appreciate your review :)

Wow, was she pretty at least? ;);) I hope so! A good question that opens a whole can of worms, so I won't go there, but a fun and thought provoking write for sure :D

[AaronFreitas]

Thank you moonskittles... more like a shadow than anything... she could at least come cuddle with me lol

lol.. watch out what you wish for ;)

[Amber Lily]

That last sentence gave me the chills! Who knows what could be watching us at any given time. A person, a demon, an angel, some ghostly entity, who knows! This poem is a good reminder to stay on your toes, because you never know what could happen.
And the fact that this happened to you makes it extra chilling! :)

[AaronFreitas]

I appreciate your review Amber... it is creep to think at all times there is something or someone watching us and we don't know. I know... it probably makes me sounds like a tweaker or something haha... but yeah... I've had some experiences with spirits and it's scary. Thank you Amber :)

We are not alone, I know this for a fact. You have to learn to acknowledge this and live with "it" in peace. Good luck :)

[AaronFreitas]

Yes indeed... I have and no complaints here :) It does get lonely here alone... at least she's my friend lol... appreciate your review :)

[Sydney]

Of course! This topic is right up my alley, glad to discuss :]

A interesting poem. When I was stationed in Germany. I lived in old building. The sounds were many in the night. You set-up place and vision for the reader. I like the poetry that ask questions. Your poem did. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.
