I found it in the loft

In a dusty old chest

It whispered, come closer

Come get some rest

I made it to the bedroom

As slumber took my eyes

The blanket in a corner dark

Stifling long lost cries

I heard them in my dreams

A young girl's shallow wailing

I felt his hands around her throat

Under twilight slowly fading

(Happy Halloween everyone!)

She rides upon a crimson horse

Its eyes as black as tar

Pray not to hear her whispered name

For she'll come to where you are

I'll pick them clean

And hold them dear

Just so you know

'Tis only I to fear!

And wandered down without a care

In a clearing they heard a song;

A haunting tune to sing-along

A lullaby of dulcet tones 

Within their minds, there grew a cyst

Where danced the oldest, darkest witch
