walking home from my friends house
a noise behind me made me pause
laughing, I saw a mouse scurry
my fear made my brain blurry
being Autumn I started getting chilly
so I picked up my pace and hurried
wind blowed, sounded like a whisper
not usually the type to worry that it was sinister
took a step and so did it, ran and it did too
my heart started thumping, my head reeling
my side hurt, it was really very chilling
the whispers that I could not run from
I felt a slight touch upon my skin
I screamed so loud my heart began again
I jumped in terror and turned around
it was nothing but a silly clown
a trick or treater playing games with me
at least I was hoping that was all it was to be
but just as my mind started to settle
he threw a sharp knife, shape as a nettle
my scream was so shallow with blood pouring down
he stood there laughing looking like a clown
the sweat turning cold within my soul
I wake up an find its Halloween morn
I pulled the cover up tight on me, looked to the window
he was standing there looking in, made my blood run cold
