Truly Alive

A dark, dark night

In a dark, dark room

I woke up to silence

Only a glow met my eyes

I saw a shadow

On the ceiling above

Attached to a man

In the seat like a glove

Mommy, I said

Waking her from her sleep,

Look at the man

She turned towards me

What man, she mumbled

Then gasped in surprise,

Go to sleep hun

Just sleep tonight

I think of the man

Sometimes at night

The man who was there

But not truly alive

Another real event. I used to be a little ghost whipserer lol I remeber this clearly, and as weird as I find it, it still kinda scares me. Apparently I used to talk to my dead great-greandmother too, I got my namesake from her (Dawn).
