"A tall skeleton dressed in white"

Lingers in the dark of the night.

Its silvery bones gives me a shiver,

Beneath the moon, just a sliver.

I sneak around the skinless man,

Keeping warm air in my hands.

No snow falls on the cobble this night,

The moon is not all that bright.

I feel the man's aura 'round,

As my shoes slip 'cross the icy ground.

I know that I mustn't linger,

As he lifts his colorless finger.

I know I can't say in this space,

I start to quicken my sauntered pace.

He turns to look into my eyes.

He has seen through my disguise.

My life flashs

He's here,

Oh dear,

Goodbye.
