the window breaks
and the mist is deep
the tension is far more than you can take
you try to be brave so you keep on a straight face
cracked up vases and eerie voices
freaking out; you want to fly from this place
every creak in the house makes you jumpy
you're all alone so it has to be you to make a choice
all spooked; the only thing driving you is curiosity and will power
misty and dark the clock strikes on the dot every hour
even your legs go numb and fail to move
suddenly somebody breaks down the windows and doors
beyond your logic reasoning; you realize that thumping heartbeat was yours
with all the noises and creepy sounds you can't take it anymore
so with every ounce of strength you run like the wind
you slow down realizing you're far away from the house
then someone taps you on the shoulder
and you finally scream and waking up in sweat
also realizing it was just a bad dream

Nice dream twist to the ending of this one. It is spooky and well done for a Halloween piece. I like the imagery.
