Paranoid
The mystery which never existed
but repeated
as they all talked about.
It never occurred
the scenes planted in their minds
never played out.
No one questions
none gives answers
they leave it the way
They still fear
stay clear
paranoid of the stillness
They shiver
when they hear
the dogs barking
They see shadows
down the streetlight
They don't forget their flashlight.
They are all bound
everyone regrets
still stay at the edge
The morning mist
reminds them
the mishap that never happened
This morose neighbourhood
waits for the rains
to wash away the stains.
