And The Lightning Flashes

[lanaia74]

The rain coming down in torrents and sheets

The rumbling thunder, lightning as sharp as a knife

Because of this I go to bed under my cool crisp sheets

This kind of sets the tempo of making you fear for your life,

I think I locked everything before I retired for the night

Little did I know in a while I would really have to fear for my life,

When the lightning flashes it is so intense and bright

I see the out line of everything nothing to cause me any strife.

I never heard the door because it silently opened

As I was about to drift to the land of restfulness

Thinking my eyes were deceiving me

The outline of a man in the middle of the illuminating lightning's nest,

He gracefully walks toward me as gliding on air

So tall and thin his outline looked illuminated by the lightning

Gasping, as he bends over me to glare

Holding my breath as he stares.

Hoping I can wish him away

He leans down closer crazily leering at me

The lightning illuminates something shiny the handle looked gray

The intense pain, the cold fluid I feel someone hear my plea.

This reminded me of a man in recurring dreams I used to have.

It haunted me for a long time.

Just an ominous sense that someone wanted to kill me.
