You have to believe me

 

I lit a candle to have some fun

but then I lit up more than one,

Quite soon it all was clear to see

I’d chased all shadows away from me,

The room was bright, my thoughts were deep

no surprise, I couldn’t sleep,

I blew them out, each one by one

shadows returned to have their fun,

They made their shapes and whispered, "Boo!"

scared me till I screamed for you,

You ran upstairs, prepared to fight

then quickly you snapped on the light

Just that fast they all went poof –

and left me here without my proof.
