The Wraith

The hour is almost midnight I am laid there in the gloom There appears a misty wraith And I feel a sense of doom It’s hanging in the darkness After oozing through the floor And its laughing like a demon As it goes and locks the door The wraith floats up above me And it gives a hostile glare Then it wraps around my throat So I’m gasping for some air And it turns into the face Of a boy I used to know And he looks just like a killer As his eyes begin to glow I’m feeling very frightened But he tells me not to fret He’s here to prick my conscience Just in case I should forget He recalls that fatal day When I watched his suicide Then he’s crying like a baby As he’s lying by my side And he stares into my face And he asks the reason why I did not try to save him So he did not have to die He’s looking at me sadly As a tear runs down his cheek And I feel just like a killer And I find it hard to speak I’m starting to get dizzy I am filled with fear and dread Then my vision starts to blur Everything turns misty red My head is filled with thunder As my blood begins to pound And then he’s bidding me farewell And he’s gone without a sound I’m left there in the darkness Thankful that I’m now alone But I know his words are true And my heart sinks like a stone The rays of morning sunlight Turn the dark night into dawn And my eyes are feeling heavy And my mouth begins to yawn When I slip into a dream It comes oozing thro the floor And its laughing like a demon I can’t take it any more...
