Sunday Muse - Neighbor Dreaming

 

   The girl next ... 


The girl next door 

Always in my dreams 

Face to behold 

Beauty beyond means 


Beauty's skin deep 

I've always been told 

But in this dream 

Ugliness unfolds 


Body's the same 

Pretty face as well 

There's something wrong 

Makeup's cast a spell 


Black and pale white 

Colors of her choice 

I pinch myself 

Her picks I've no voice 


Awake I know 

Female at play 

Grisly gruesome 

Halloween's today

    Dreaming a costume? Dreaming a fear? Dreaming a hint?

    I'm in London right now, and there was this really, really Goth girl who walked by me on the street. I was super sure at first it was a Halloween costume. But, um, no. Your poem made me think of that!

    What a chilling nightmare to have about a neighbor. Maybe once Halloween passes so too will the dreams. :::fingers crossed:::
