Nightmoods

Scitter scitter, Jump and jitter
Nerves alive and Thoughts a twitter

What’s that noise?
Who are you?
Where am I now?
What do I do?

Mad scramble Hurried haste
Wild dash -- No time to waste!

I passed a mirror but all I could see
Was a dark stranger looking back at me

Who are you?
What do you want?
(Silent eyes show no sign of life
Only lingering ghosts of strife)

Stop asking questions!
Stop rattling doors!
Stop opening windows and
Scouring floors!

There’s nothing here but shadows
No one comes when I call
There are no fires to warm me
And this house gives no shelter at all
