Home Alone
The lights were all on,
The T.V on low,
Asleep on the couch,
With no one else home.
Dreaming sweet dreams,
Of true love & all happiness,
When life is perfect,
& every things best.
Little did I no,
This day that just passed,
Would soon turn to night,
That wouldn’t last..
As I slowly stood,
Still half asleep,
I could here footsteps,
Beginning to creep,
I stood still,
& looked around,
No one was there,
But I could hear sound.
I tip-toed upstairs,
To my room on the end,
I thought to myself,
Maybe it was pretend.
But I hid in my blankets,
& covered my face,
The sound of the footsteps,
I tried to erase.
But the sound soon got louder,
Becoming so clear,
I was not alone,
I was filled with such fear.
My door slowly opened,
& a figure appeared,
Not close to familiar,
But twisted & feared.
As the creature lurked,
Nearer & nearer,
I squished in my corner,
& his face became clearer.
He was not friendly,
Nor was he nice,
His face was all twisted,
His eyes like ice.
He wrapped his cold fingers,
Around my arm,
I screamed,
But he didn’t seem alarmed.
He covered my mouth,
& dragged me downstairs,
He fiddled in the draws,
He seemed so prepared.
I bit his hand,
He tensed, but released,
His glare so evil,
A murderous beast.
A knife was drawn,
As he laughed to himself,
His smile all crooked,
Like a demon elf,
As the knife slowly entered,
Under my ribs on my side,
There was nothing I could do,
So I clenched up & cried,
He turned his face,
& moved it towards mine,
I could clearly see,
Every curve & line,
He pulled the knife out,
Ran his fingers down the blade,
I sat gasping for air,
I was so afraid.
He left that night,
I was left dead within,
Covered in blood,
He’d had his win.
