HAUNTED

I’m so afraid to stay the night
Maybe I should go back home
Have I made a big mistake?
To have come here all alone?

Found a writer’s safe retreat
Considered an oasis
Dark and deep into the woods
Should have checked out other places.

There’s far too many windows
Far too many floors
Way too many noises
Way too many doors.

I could feel a certain presence
Was I starting to see things?
I was hearing stranger’s voices
Maybe I should have a drink.

I had an eerie feeling
I was terribly afraid
They were hovering and lingering.
Had they planned to dig my grave?

Heard a whisper, a soft murmur
What was this all about?
I heard them talking quietly
They planned to get me out.

No time to pack my suitcase
Grabbed my keys and my cell phone.
Got outside, into my car
Now on my way back home.
