The Demon Within

Shadows within the darkness move,
Their pitch black, solid forms,
Create an eerie picture,
During the scariest of storms.

An unavoidable misadventure,
Led me to this house,
All I can do is wait it out,
Wishing I was with my spouse.

Something moves behind me,
I freeze and then I hear,
The exact same noise I heard before,
Except this time it is near.

I feel cold air upon my neck,
I cannot bare to see,
I know that there is something there,
And it's right up close to me.

An icy hand moves up my back,
My knees begin to quiver,
The cold it takes a hold of me,
My whole body starts to shiver.

My voice is lost, I cannot speak,
I'm unable to shout or scream,
I pinch my arms, I blink my eyes,
This has to be a dream.

But suddenly I'm flying,
I crash straight through a door,
I grunt in pain, as wood and paint,
Buries me on the floor.

I feel the blood, ooze down my face,
I look up at the room,
And written on the wall I see,
'Welcome to your doom'

I didn't leave the house that night,
I've been here since that day,
My spirits trapped because I died,
In such a sudden way.

I still don't know what killed me,
Or the reason I was chose,
But all that's left in memory,
Is a single blood red rose.
