Scared To Death

Just some Halloween fun

 

Bump, bump, bump goes the night

Thump, thump, thump goes your heart.

The feeling of eyes in the shadows

Weighs heavy on your mind.

Every step you take

Sends a chill down your spine.

A glance over the left shoulder

Followed by the right

Produces nothing but paranoia.

Is that wicked laughter in your head

Or a trick of the moon’s subliminal command.

Your heals click quicker,

         Crunching leaves gets louder,

                  Breathing almost impossible

                  As if invisible hands grasp your throat.

Stumbling, you fall

Ripping your pantyhose,

All you care about is getting home.

Drawing closer

         Voices getting louder

                  While multiplying.

Now certain the beating you hear

Is your heart coming out your ears.

Finally the light is ahead,

You run without looking back…

Grasping the knob,

The feel of a hand on your shoulder.

Screaming as you turn to see

A blurred vision of the reaper greeting you.

Awaken to see the faces of

Witches, goblins, mummies and vampires

Observing you along with…

Alice In Wonderland and a smurf?

Dang you forgot tonight was

The big Halloween party.

You laugh in the face of death… of your pride.

Brilliant build up, you really had me wide-eyed and ready for the scream, but then comes those wonderful last three lines. That's when a sense of humour comes in useful! Some great language in this, really appropriate, really scary,
