A shudder
jolts and judders
up my spine,
neck hairs raise,
all at the same time
like a chorus line
bowing then rising to the crowd.
Startled eyes become blind
to stop me seeing the horrors
that are invading my mind.
I saw something
just before.
In the darkness.
I saw. I saw...
I'm not sure.
Words can’t describe.
It was more like a feeling
than seeing, but I could sense it there.
Whatever it was, I can't unpick.
It's like the pieces are in my brain,
but they have a sheen
that is oily and slick,
but it was nothing good
of this, I am sure.
My stomach lurches,
I'm feeling sick.
A scream twists
around my throat
like a rope,
cutting off my
air supply.
Stopping the words
that I want to cry.
Stopping me saying
what is there right now.
If I don't speak its name
does it become less real?
If I pretend It isn't there
Will I still feel the fear?
Will I still be going through this same ordeal.
I know I can't deny,
I saw it with my own two eyes,
I felt it gripping my heart too tight.
I saw the light bleed from my eyes,
leaving me alone,
in endless night.
Oh God, they've spotted me.
I know, because the atmosphere
has changed dramatically,
like there was electricity,
now the air battery
is dead.
All that remains is dread.
I can feel it, deep inside my head.
Something. What was that thing?
It creeped into my vision then out again.
It seeped through my memories,
then clouded them.
Now nothing remains,
but the withered strains
of my throat trying to cry.
I can't take this...
I can taste its breath,
rancid and stale.
A scent of death
lingering
in the cloud vapour
it exhales.
I don't want to breathe, I don't want to see.
I don't want to hear those footsteps
creeping around me.
I want to scream. Let me be.
I want to beg and plead,
but my ragged throat
can't even whimper a mangled whisper
through this hold it has
around my neck as I choke.
Let me be. I silently simper,
but the thing in the darkness
won't ever let it's clasp grow limper.
