Haunted.

Chaires topple

Tables slide

All aided by a Ghost

They hide in dark places

And scare me the most

Just because I can't see them

Doesn't mean they are not there 

Hidden under my duvet

Listening to every creak on the stair

I wonder what they want from me

Why they call my name

Lights flicker on and off

They like to play their games

I beg comfort from huddled in my bed

Drawing up my pillow

To cover my sleepy dread

Shadows creep over me

I swear I see a light

Twinkling on the ceiling

Giving me such a fright

I need to fall asleep now

Wishing they would go away

But every sense can feel them

I think they are here to stay

They are not loved ones watching over me 

They dance along my walls

With such cruelty

I scramble out prayers

Demanding them to disappear

I can't help but lay so still

Drowning in my fear

Hurry up day light

Take these Ghosts away

I wish they would stop

Making the chandelier sway

Tapping on the floor boards 

opening a  door

I really don't want my skin

To prickle any more

But as I start to fall asleep

Every thing goes still

Darkness is free again

All around me so tranquill

Warm and cosy
