11/30/15

night grew dark, and dim,
dark enough to blind astronomer's from seeing saturn's rims.

holographic and tinted blue,
an ugly unhuman-like force haunted the rooms,
why was it there? what did it do?
maybe, it lingered because it died too soon.

i called out,
"please leave my family, leave this house."
it didn't answer,
just floated around,
invisible, and snake-like,
the worm-like man, heard my demand,
roared, screeched and scratched,
pushed me back so hard and fast,
it knocked down my books and knick-knacks.

maybe, he lingered because he died too soon,
maybe, he was a vengeful force because of a love ruined,
i gave up the fight,
i was tired and it was the middle of the night, and there was no more i could do,
finally he said,
"i do not haunt nor lurk because i died too soon,
nor linger because of a love ruined...i creep because i am you..."
