Down the hall
I hear footsteps fall
Where no one
There should tread

My chest gets tight
Feet and legs get light
As I crouch beside my bed

I lay in wait
For that quick escape
Unknown predator friend or foe

Heart in my throat
View edge of black overcoat
Site set for head or toe

Come on in
Is all I’m thinking
Trigger finger lay in wait

Hunter no longer hunting
Flipped ya now
Your bait

The noise was loud
Hearing is back now
Have to open my eyes

Flowers in hand
There lay my man
My pleas were wasted tries

Graveside seat
Is where we meet
To share ours souls continue

For now my love
Your with God above
It’s flowers I will bring you

not your story, I hope, now your mom's

it seems like you wouldn't be here writing, unless...I don't want to dwell on this

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

If this is a true story---it is one dreadfully horrific one!

On another note, as a writer, you were very successful in creating an emotional response from this reader!
