Scary stories

You know,

I used to love scary stories,

telling them to each other

long past midnight,

cuddled up under the covers,

between kisses.

I used to love reading them

on the bus

and getting so scared

that I wouldn't let go

of your hand

until we got home

and you'd hold me safe

till morning.

You know how we watched

scary movies

on Halloween?

Our very own little tradition;

the smell of popcorn

and your body

as I fell asleep

on your chest.

I used to love that.

But I guess

every horror fan

one day finds

the story that scares them

out of loving horror

anymore.

For me,

it was the story

you told me

that winter night

- that nobody ever stays.

I've barely slept since.
