WHAT’S INSIDE THE CLOSET

What was that! a noise from the background during the day,

I passed it off as nothing and went about my work in the yard.

The window was open to the bedroom, some kind of rustling,

It was probably nothing but I had to go inside and find out.

When I opened the door there was nothing to see nothing to be,

I wondered as I closed the door, were there eyes looking at me?

My mind was getting the better of me, nothing could be,

Later that day when I went inside to change I found the door open.

Could there be, what’s inside the closet that’s beginning to scare me?

Again I closed that door, I went to eat, Sitting there I swear there was 

A whisper,

I closed my eyes for a bit, falling asleep within what I saw as a dream state,

Awoke did I in a hurry as my mind saw something horrifying, a nightmare?

I went off to bed, looking towards the closet fear ran through me, 

The door was open,

Am I losing my mind, is something there, tell me please! what’s 

Inside the closet!
