Achulophobia
August 15, 2011
I blink once,
an hour passes.
I blink twice,
hardly a second has gone by
The silence creeps into my ears, whispering.
I blink thrice.
Out of the darkness,
faces,
twisted and disfigured,
stare back.
Eyes darting back and forth,
Their blood stained hands reach forward.
I cover my face,
but you can't hide from imagination.
Are you afraid of the dark?
