One step, then another, and another
The cold breeze, the moisture
Everything so wonderful
With the moonlight, the grey sky
A shimmer, then a murmur, causing a shiver
The gloom contrasting superbly
On this ideal night
Then a flash, all strange, all real…
Visions of an orange door
Windows open, lights off
The atmosphere, all but chilling
Perspiration on my skin, humidity all over
And a book grabbed, without knowing why
Then silence, a perfect silence, perfection…
Crrr, Crrr, Crrr…
Crrr, Crrr, Crrr…
Ahead was a fog like barrier
Of pouring rain, so dense, hurting
I was just unable to breathe
One gasp, one, one, just one please
Nothing came in, nothing
Just like the feeling of drowning
But standing, not sinking, no
Then another vision of complete darkness…
With this now anguishing sound….
Crrr, Crrr, Crrr…
Crrr, Crrr, Crrr…
Feeling strangled, feeling numb, feeling nothing
My eyes closed, lungs willing to burst
I was there on my bed
A black book in one hand
Sweat all over me
Murmuring things in my head
“Help me, Help me, Help me mum, mum…”
No one came…
No one would…
As I was stunned, unable to speak
Not able to move, not able to open my eyes
Willing to cry, just willing, just
Then a sense of dizziness, optimism
My eyes open up, my body torn
And the cold air in my lungs, burning
And the thoughts in my mind, horrifying
And, and, and… the black book open
The strangling presence disappeared
Only I remained after all
Only I, before I fall again and again
Note: This is the first think I have written that didn’t came from my imagination! This was written only for me to illustrate to myself those strange nights I had, fearing the most unprobable! I still shiver while reading it as, I know the pain I have endured and how depressed & anxious I was!!! I just hope you will never know how it feels to be haunted nights after nights…
