He calls me in my dreams, the face in the wall
He smiles from the crack, says his name is Paul.
He wishes to play with me, he swears that is all.
Momma says it is all in my head.
Father, yells go back to bed.
Sister didn’t even listen to all I said.
My body gotten the best of me,
as I walk towards, my mind doesn’t agree.
But my legs fall silent to it’s plea.
He look out from the crack
and give me a dark smile back.
He reaches out, and I don’t fight back.
He pulls me in but this is not the end,
Paul lied to me he was not my friend.
He laughs it was all just pretend.
The crack let him out and it took me.
He said sorry but it just had to be.
now he was finally free.

Visions
Childhood dreams and visions of demons. It happens. But at times is it real? I wonder. Dark poet. Dark & it can get darker.

Fantastic!
Holy crap! This is fantastic! This really does reek of fear, that ending especially creeped me right out. You’re rhyming flows perfectly. I really like these two lines:
He look out from the crack
and give me a dark smile back.
They make the reader use their imagination and picture a face peering out of a crack. It really makes this piece more real for me and adds detail. Extraordinary work, you really have a wonderful talent, I really felt as if I was there as I read this.
