Spirits in the Dark

Spirits in the Dark


I'm scared to turn my face and see,
What may be lurking behind me.
The voices have started again,
At the time my visions began.

There's a lady in a long, white gown
At the top of the steps, looking down.
She holds out her arms, the cuts run deep,
As she starts to fall, I begin to weep.

It is her lonely soul who haunts these grounds,
And causes trouble when others are around.
She is not alone in this house of mine,
What I can see she's ghost number nine.

Another spirit is coming this way,
He was murdered, drowned in the bay.
He's a good soul who got grounded to earth,
Because he wanted to see his first son's birth.

There's evil spirits that are abound,
They are the ones who make an awful sound.
They try to scare all who come their way,
By showing themselves even in the light of day.

At times I can feel them staring at me,
I want to run, but am not sure what I'll see.
I'm breathing hard and my pulse is racing,
I can not sit down, so I start pacing.

Heavy breaths are now trickling down my neck,
I want to look, but I'm a nervous wreck.
I say a prayer to cast the spirits out,
The prayers work miracles, I have no doubt.

As I am able to turn around and see,
The ghosts and evil spirits have left me.
I sit down with tears running down my face,
I am safe once again, by Heaven's grace.
