Ghost Story Tuesday

Part Two

Then lovely friends come for a visit
We cook them soup
Show them the house
And talk

You have a woman in your room
Bobby says and Kelly nods
What does she want?
They ask

I can’t believe you saw her
I’m ignoring her
This is my home
I say

He can’t believe it either
We go outside and he’s excited
He describes her, head to toe
Perfectly

She wants to show me something
Stands in front of the closet
By the foot of my bed
Looking at me

She wants to show, for I can see

Sweet friends leave for the evening
Say farewell and thank you
Then Kelly says take care of her
The woman in your room

That night I see the woman
Open up and see the woman

She’s standing in my room again
In the darkness of the night
Arms by her sides
Head hanging

He hurt me
She says
And shows me things
Until I can see no more
And I close my mind to her
But first, I promise
To help
