Even darkness

 

Something is coming,

its hiding in the dark.

In shadows it is stalking,

ready to stop my heart.

 

Through the midnight hours,

even darkness itself cowers.

From the shadows that prowl,

the sounds that howl.

Even the darkness

can't face the beast

with the haunted look.

 

It's walking slowly,

to not make a sound.

It knows how to hide,

deep in the crevices of the mind.

Through those lonely times,

when the clocks go silent,

the streetlights are retired

and the bells don't chime.

Even the darkness fears the visions it finds.

Even the darkness gets that ice cold shiver down its spine.

 

Something is behind,

I can feel its breath

against my neck.

It wants to scare me to death,

I can feel it putting the noose over my head.

All I have is fear

and that lingering feeling of dread.

 

Something is here,

in darkest corners,

when the only sound is the steady hum of rain,

it's ready and waiting,

with outstretching hands.

Yearning to pull me down again.

 

Something is coming,

its hiding in the dark.

In shadows it is stalking,

ready to stop my heart.
