Creeping shadows
grabbing, arms outstretched.
Reaching.
Trying to pull you into their pits
of forgetfulness.
Memories once blazed,
now seemingly erased.
Just empty seats
where no recollections sit.
The lurking threat,
it stalks through the rain.
Following.
It trudges through the sludge
of your swamped brain.
Taking away every faded breath,
sweeping away
the thoughts in your head.
The terror within.
Wandering.
Without a thought,
wondering what it was you sought.
Lost in a maze,
where once you knew your way.
Now all just faded,
dissolved into the grey.
Scary scenes
or just people in streets.
Walking between mountains of steel
and climbing concrete.
No sense of direction.
No way home.
Lost in the flood
like a paper boat
floating along all alone.
Directionless blur.
A smear of memory.
Then it’s gone.
A sneer from the face
in the window staring back.
Follows every step you take,
mimics every footstep you make.
Leering in the shadows,
smirking as you struggle along.
Making you feel forgotten
Or like you've forgotten
what it feels like
to be you.
