As
I lay alone one night
I
couldn’t help but ponder
at
how one little blunder
could
crumble all the light -
All
the light life once held
and
everything of the past
seems
almost like a dream-
a
dream you wish would come to no end
But
one dream kept haunting my every thought
a
dream that has kept me up late thinking-
a
dream about a single night
of
misery, death, and fraud
And
the soul within me keeps shrieking
calling
out for its helpless ache has prevailed once more
“Save
me!” it screamed “ save me from this throe!”
“awake
me from this insanity!” it said withering
But
nothing but a gust of wind
answered
its desperate calls
And
as the night was fading away
the
figure of a ghost appeared at the door
The
ghost kept approaching my sprawled figure
I
tried to run, to hide, but it was too late
for
the dark figure I feared
was
standing before my fidgeting eyes
“ I
have come to ease your pain and misery”
he
said so faintly as he approached even more
“come
with me” he said, as he held my hands ever so gently
and
for once I knew my sleepless nights would come to an end
for
this ghost before me
who
had once haunted me on endless nights
was
granting my soul its desperate wish-
a
wish of never existing any more
Well done!
