Hallows Eve

by: Melissa Maharani Gading

No one seems to understand

That I am the only sane in this sea of madness

I have tried and tried to tell my story

But have never truly truly been rewarded

One last time I shall try to recall

What has happened many moons before

Although what happened was a close call

I might say it’s my favourite above all

It was one fine day in one hallows eve

I was walking, minding my own sleeve

When suddenly I noticed an EYE to my disbelief The eye was a pain as I had perceived

Behind it was a face as white as snow

I can say the creature had room to grow

The eye was so clear it couldn't be real

But around it was black, it was quite surreal

For the longest time the eye followed me 

Through the big tree until my soup pea

It was such an ordeal and to such a degree

That I decided that it was time to be put out of its misery

It was time for retribution

It was time for my satisfaction

The plan was all set 

Through and through from blood and sweat

On one fine night I slowly entered its home 

Careful not to hit any of the gnomes

To get to the creature was the greatest trial

But no trouble found me I was versatile

When finally came the time to slay the beast

It opened its EYE and smiled to mock

I grabbed the pillow and put it to use

It made noise and then silence let loose

Then came the crowd to cheer

But instead they screamed and ran with fear

What I had done wrong to me was unclear

But here I am now talking to you my dear

That is the end of my story

What comes next is not up to me 

I could go to the inevitable oblivion 

Or to the hell I am so used to before
