The One Lurking In The Dark

It sat there in the dark
Lurking as if it was waiting to strike
Or could it be nothing
Just the imagination
But what if it’s a ghost
Or a person
Or a chair
Or a coat
The thoughts running through my head
Lead my curiosity up ahead
I can feel its presence as I reach for the light
Anticipating the worst I switch on the lights
To reveal a coat on a chair and nothing more
A let out a sigh of relief and turn the lights off
As my back turns on the chair 2 eyes and a smile appear.
