Haunted House

A past calls
From inside the walls
As the house creaks and moans
Prodding you in with the unknown
It gives no promise for free
But that's a attraction few can see
Who wants a promise from some thing so weird
The pain inside the empty house won't be cured

Nothing is allowed inside the threshold
And yet new stories are always told
Screams and shrieks are constantly heard
A ghost inside is all they can infer
But what if some thing's trapped inside those cobwebs
Some thing besides ghosts, bones, and dead heads
A human trapped inside like a fly
Awaiting the moment they know they'll die

Is the unknown as attractive with fear
As you walk up the path and the cobwebs near
If you hard a shriek would you turn and run
Forgetting all thoughts of adventurous fun
Is curiosity really worth losing your life
Or do you plan on staying for all of the fight
