Her Eyes
I'll be staying in the city for a while so I rented a room
It's on the 2nd floor and I arrived exactly at 12 noon
Before climbing the stairs, the door leading to the basement caught my attention
I peeked through the small hole to satisfy my curious sensation
I started having nightmares since I moved here
At night, some weird noises I can often hear
From time to time, I still peek through that hole
To see the inside of it is my biggest goal
Until came the day that I'll be going back home
I saw the landlady sitting somewhere alone
I asked her about the door going to the basement
I was in total shock to hear her creepy statement
"A girl tenant of mine committed suicide
And that's exactly where she died!"
I can feel my heart beating fast inside
I cleared my throat and abruptly replied
"I peeked through that hole many times before
But the only thing I can see is a light blue color
Is the room perhaps painted with that hue?"
She responded, "No! But her eyes are light blue!"
About this poem
Horror and thriller are definitely my cup of tea. This poem was my first attempt to capture those genres in my usual play of rhyme.
