Gentle Breeze of Soft Laughter

Folder: 
Spontaneous

As I sit here in my chair

Set upon me is a stare

Suddenly, I feel the chills

As by itself, the tea kettle spills

Just then I hear the laughter blowing like a gentle breeze

As I at once jump up to fetch my keys

It sounds as if from a place unknown

Joyfull,yet somehow alone in the snow

Children's voices with an eerie glow

The tone of the voices begins to grow

It feels as if my soul they are reading

My heart doubles over as if it were bleeding

Needing...

The needing of closure is what the voices are searching for

The gentle breeze evaporates into thin air

Then a scream rings out and my bones are filled with terror

The light switches off and I'm left frightened in the dark

Without warning, my heart is slashed open without a mark
