Reel to Real

I watched a scary movie the other night.

It's plot I don't recall.

I know it is the kind

that leaves you filled so deep within with dread.

The actors seemed faceless things,

their lines out of hell.

But that they were afraid

was so easy to tell.

There were moments as I watched

I felt as though the plot I was within.

For as the moments slowly passed

I felt the terror time and time again.

But even worse was knowing

I had not paid to see this film so real.

For you see it was not upon a screen,

but playing in the recesses of my mind.
