Waiting

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

How did this come to be?The monster's coming for meI scramble trying to lock the door But, I'm failingMy feet have grown into the floorSo I'm pushing as hard as I canI fear I'm not strong enough to holdIf only my stalled mind could think of a planI can't see, I'm blockedSo I peep underneath the blinds of the windowI can't believe, I'm shockedThe alarm in the other room is screamingMy adrenaline streamingTerror fills my glassA once thought impossible feelingTaken overI collapseThe door creaks openDarkness bleeds inThe room fades...Please comment and tell me what you think. Any feedback with be greatly appreciated. Written October 9th, 2001 © on Oct 29 2001 01:20 PM PST   0 • 1
