I wrote this poem back when I was 15 (currently 26)
It is called I Shiver
I shiver.
It feels as though someone was breathing
Down my neck,
Yet I know I am alone.
The candle in my hand starts to flicker,
I can feel my pulse pounding in my ears.
Goosebumps appear on my arms.
My head tilts as a low moan reaches
My ear.
"Who's there?"
I stammer, my voice barely a
whisper
I'm terrified asa I hear a door slam,
Creaking footstepes that are coming
closer and closer,
Chasing me down the hall.
A hand clamps on my shoulder.
I see his face and he laughs at me,
A wicked demonic HOWL
Blackness envelopes me,
I take a breath,
And then it's all over.
My body is dragged
Across the ground
And buried in a hidden
GRAVE.
Not to be found for a hundred years.
