Enveloping all this
Negativity over the years
These walls who have seen
Sweat, innocent blood and tears,
Let loose the ectoplasmic being
Drifting midst the air
Coaxing you with EVP screaming
“Come for me if you dare.”
It laps at your energy
Altering your equilibrium.
Manifesting in orbs of light
Launching you to delirium.
The footsteps are advancing.
It comes in from the night.
An invisible fiend glazing you
In insurmountable fright.
You don’t know where, you don’t know how, you just want to escape.
To announce to all the non-believers that this shit is not fake.
They run you round,
They chase you down,
They bite into your skin.
They feel the warmth of the crimson blood
Flowing within.
They chase you round in the labyrinth of the edifice.
Slam you down to the ground,
Now, your body, they’ll possess.
Hear their disembodied moaning
Their icy wails in the wind.
The banging coming from down the halls
Signals when their march begins.
They hunger for a life-source.
A host to hold their soul.
Their rattling breath sucks out
All of the composure that one can hold.
They whisper into your device
A forlorn message of hate.
“You came to this place,
Now you shall never escape.”
