The House

Walking into the house, a shiver runs down my spine
Who's was that shadow on the wall
An evil entity or simply just mine
My watch ticks loud enough to hear
Only outdone by my solitary heartbeat
That's pounding in my chest and ringing in my ear

I face the door, black as if burnt
I feel heat across my face
I reach for the door but i can't
Open it, so i turn and pace

Echoes of past lives run through the walls
Spirits float about in the air
When my heart slows, i can hear their calls
I can see their light and smell their hair
Could they be telling me something
Or just trying to scare me away
For this is the place they were living
This is where the children would play

Step to the door and force it ajar
Massive waves of heat hit me
This is the weirdest thing by far
As the scene dissolves around me

Screams fill the stale air and fill my head
With emotions and pain running high
Every second that passes, fills me with dread
What am i doing, how am i here and why
I see the embers of human life dance in the light
As the fire rages on taking everything it feels
This was it, years ago when death filled the night
I shudder and i look down as my skin peels

I run screaming from the room and house
Pain darts over me like acid rain
I lie in wet grass, cowering like a mouse
For i had just felt all those poeple's pain
