Haunting After Hours

I’ve decided when I die

that I’m not going to cross over

Instead, I thought I’d try

my shot as a ghosting poser

Maybe I'll do some haunting

on all the ones who screwed me over

float around moaning and flaunting

that I am looking for some closure

*

I’ll wait until you go to sleep

then slip into your REM's

Stirring secrets that you’ve tried to keep

mixed with a dab of spooked mayhem

Encouraging your sub-consciousness

to release your thoughts and feelings

Then stirring wee bits of ominous

with some shadows on your ceiling

*

So if we have some history

Maybe it’s best to settle up the score

I’d rather skip the mystery

Than spend eternity as a horror
