I know what lurks in the darkness for I have seen it more than once.

I’ve seen what lurks in the darkness from the corner of my eye.

I’ve noticed what lurks in the darkness from what I have seen today.

What lurks in the darkness is the ghost that haunts me. The ghost that looks down on my past. The ghost that wishes that the world would fall into it’s crippled hands so it could have power over everything. The ghost that wants me to die and never return. The ghost that wants me to forget everything and fall into it’s horrible spell. The ghost that wants to kill everyone I love so I would live the way it live and experience what it experienced. The ghost that wants me to murder everyone I know so I could live a miserable life. No, it’s not the ghost of Christmas past, it’s not the ghost that comes out every Halloween, it’s not the ghost that has risen up from the grave near you. It’s not. It’s the ghost that haunts me….. it’s the ghost of you.
