Walls that slant in faded light
Specter’s roam about the night
Shadows stand in open doors
Footsteps creak across the floors
Thinking this is just a dream
Things just aren’t what they seem
Figures lurk about your home
Now you see you’re not alone
Taunting you until you scream
Trick or treat, it’s Halloween

Mood, faded blue with endless time
Her heart ripped away, a hideous crime
Emotion, dead, from deep within
No longer feeling, the price of a sin
Gone are the days, she felt him near
Now banished is she, no longer dear
He split her apart, it took its toll
Left an empty heart, and a broken soul
He fled, into the dark of night
Leaving her shrouded, in the misty light
Shaken, she stands, feelings uncaring
Red, is the blood, so overbearing
Torn, in silence, overwrought
Her bleeding heart is life, distraught

With each flickering flame, my years unfold
Tapering down, leaving days of untold
Dripping memories, of past events
Happier times, still I’m not quite content
Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light
The fire, still burning, with no end in sight
Celebrating the day, reaching for more
Wondering what this life has in store
As closer to Halloween, comes the time
Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime
So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate
On this day in October, 2016, twenty-eight
In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I am taking the day to relax and enjoy. I’ll be sure to save you some cake 🙂
