At Night

 

There is someone out there

in the darkness watching.

I hear them rustling

but only shadows do I see.

There is someone out there

I sense their eyes staring

I can feel the looks

penetrative and icy to me.

 

There is someone out there.

I can hear their movement

but no shapes can I spy.

As the moon hides her face

behind clouds.

Nothing,

Just the darkness

floating by.

 

There is someone out there

as I look into the darkness

I know they are staring right back at me.

Their figures hidden from view

their yellowing eyes I don't see,

but I hear them

as you would do too.

 

There is someone out there

just outside my line of sight.

Slight flickers of figures darting,

trying to cause me fright.

The way the streetlight casts shadows

It seems to seep right through them

even though they are seemingly translucent

to tears they do reduce me.
