The Thing

by Holly Cassidy   Feb 3, 2012


The feeling of the wind as it passes by.
The breathing on the back of your neck.
The thing that shivers you and I.
The thing that scares the heck out of you.

The thing that makes you jump.
The thing that makes little kids wish didn't exist.
The thing that gives you that feeling in your throat, that lump.
The thing that's waiting in the mist.

The feeling of someone lurking behind you.
The one that most
Don't know what or who.
The thing you think is a mere ghost.

The thing that is nothing.
The thing you just "thought up".
The thing that is everything.
The thing that makes you cuddle with your pup.

The thing you think is whatever
You want to be.
The thing you wonder is a he or she.

The thing that wants you.
The thing that you have, it wants.
The thing that can't go away with a "shoo".
The thing that haunts you.

The thing that wants more...
