A trip to the cemetery on Halloween....

~ Nightmare ~

by Heidixoxo

Halloween night you must be brave
While to cemetery to search ol' graves
If you don't believe then tonight you will
Be prepared to be quiet, cautious and very still

It's pitch black with only the hum of a breeze
It felt like searching for the devils seed
Whatever is seen solely out of luck
Don't summon spirits because here they'll be stuck

Suddenly feeling you're no longer alone
Crying in fear and pleading to go home
The cars been moved completely out of sight
Now even the flashlight will no longer provide light

Out in the distance and into the dark
Figures walking with a hound that barks
Running towards then for help I pray
They're spirits watching us - I stop and stay

Sounds are heard coming from all around
These are not human but rather spirit bound
Bones are cracking as the groans become clear
I'm shaking and trembling as they come near

Graves are not graves but mounds of dirt
As I pass by a child spirit gives a lil' smirk
Wild beasts are now snarling right at our backs
I need to awaken so my face I give a slap

When I wake I jump out of bed
Not real I say but a bad dream instead
I pull back the covers to get back to sleep
But I'm terrified to see a pile of dirt at my feet!
