#spooked - Hello Poetry

I thought by now I'd feel better The past few months spiraled hard For answers looked among constellations My faith put into a tarot card I have been shook by superstitions Seduced by the way they sound Agony altered my belief No longer a skeptic without you around Haunt me until I cannot find sleep Forcefully frightened by your ghost Your absence spooks instead of strengthens me Facing the reality of our love reposed

Spooked

I thought by now I'd feel better The past few months spiraled hard For answers looked among constellations My faith put into a tarot card I have been shook by superstitions Seduced by the way they sound Agony altered my belief No longer a skeptic without you around Haunt me until I cannot find sleep Forcefully frightened by your ghost Your absence spooks instead of strengthens me Facing the reality of our love reposed

I'm afraid to be here At home all alone When the man in the dark Could be roaming so close I'm afraid to be here After last night When the man in the dark Gave me a fright I'm afraid to be here With eyes open wide If the man in the woods Is lurking outside I'm afraid to be here Tell me why did he come Look up at my window Hiding for fun I'm afraid to be here Without my best friend Who witnessed him too Sent our minds in a bend I'm afraid to be here Tell me how does he know The best way to creep To see my window I'm afraid to be here Tell me why was he here? A chancer, a pervert A stalker I fear

Man in the Dark

I'm afraid to be here At home all alone When the man in the dark Could be roaming so close I'm afraid to be here After last night When the man in the dark Gave me a fright I'm afraid to be here With eyes open wide If the man in the woods Is lurking outside I'm afraid to be here Tell me why did he come Look up at my window Hiding for fun I'm afraid to be here Without my best friend Who witnessed him too Sent our minds in a bend I'm afraid to be here Tell me how does he know The best way to creep To see my window I'm afraid to be here Tell me why was he here? A chancer, a pervert A stalker I fear

I've got everything figured out, Now it dawns on me that all this time I was being used! And I know that I Was abused, but then all of a sudden I feel IT...you know. That "feeling," That paranoid feeling that says *"yea, and You but you did this and that and the other Thing,* (I know what you did last Summer) suuuuure. And so I sit There re-ensuring all I had my Needs, couldn't-no-wouldn't let Myself be until I finally did "IT." And then I realize I was right, That I'm just being spooked by People here who are trying to Brainwash me at night, Then it begins again, I knew it! I was right, I was abused! But then I feel IT again... Ain't no way to hide those lyin' eyes...GOD I hate that song.
