Scary Night in the Woods

As I pass by the woods,

I see a lingering figure behind me

I try to call

But my voice freezes

I want to scream but something stops me

I keep on walking

With a fear in my heart

And a silence on my lips

The night feels darker

The trees seem eerie

I want to run but the legs don’t allow

Time stands still

The night seems unending

Suddenly the trees rustle

And I see nothing

There is someone yet no one
