Nothing There...

Step

Step

Step

A breath in your ear

Step

Step

Step

An echo just out of hearing

Step

Step

Step

A finger in your hair

Step

Step

Step

Muttered words

Barely heard

Step Step

Step

Hungry smile in the wind

Step

Step

Step

Patter of rain

Scent of pain

Step

Step

Step

Another set, lightly fleet

Footsteps on a darkened street

Stepstep

Step

Over your shoulder

Stepstepstep

Grasping fingers

Raking claws

Stepstepstep

Stepstepstep

Yawning mouth

Rending jaws

Stepstepstep

Step

Step

Step

Nothing there

Nothing to fear

Step

Step

Step

Measured tread

In Measured dread

Step

Step

Step

Nothing there

Drawing near

Step

Step

Step

Gust of wind

Step

Step

...

Step

Urgency to simply see

Step

Step

Stepstep

Prove that nothing there can be

Step...

Step...

Step...

Icy rain

Soaking chill

Not a thing

To see or...

Kill

...Step

...Step

...Step

Turn and look

Turn and find

Lay to rest

Your o're wrought mind

...

Step

...

Step

Harmless folly

Flight of fancy

Step

...

...

Step

A gentle finger

Down your neck

Step

Step

Step

Breath of wind

Caught in your hair

Step

Step

Step

Truly there is nothing there

Naught behind save empty air

Step...

...

...

Step

Turn and look

Turn and see

What isn't there

What cannot be

...

...

Step

Step

Imagined breath

Stepstepstep

Reek of death

Stepstepstep

Stepstepstep

Stepstepstep...
