The lights are out
Only the dim glow
From my phone
Shines through the night’s blackness
This old house
If full of noise
Even the wind
Creaks and cracks the wood surrounding me
I should feel comfort
I am back at home
This should be safe
But the past had some scary moments I can’t forget
I shake with fright
It is hard to breathe
And I shut my eyes tight
On the memories that continue to haunt my return home
Written for Fandango’s One-Word Challenge (FOWC) – scary
Poignant poem.
Thank you my friend.
A pleasure
