Shiver

Poem

© 2022, Tanweer Dar

The envelope opens

Out pops a note

I feel a shiver

Knowing what she wrote

I look around me

Goosebumps appear

I can't see anything

But footsteps do I hear

And then the voice

So distinct, so unique

Carries to my ears

Her song of mystique

I tremble and falter

Falling to my knees

"Make it stop!" I cry

"Make it stop, please!"
