The Shadow Lurks

Ever present darkness falls.

The Shadow lurks.

Waiting.

Waiting to envelope you,

Surround you in it’s clutches.

You can’t break free.

Chains tighten. Ties bind.

Squeezing ever tighter.

Your will weakens with the fright.

The unknown lurks behind.

The Shadow creeps; it hovers.

TURN AROUND!

It lurks behind…

Unseen and unforgiving.

The fight can’t be won.

You are coming undone.

Give up and the Shadow prevails.

Scaring you. Scaring me.

It never quite shows

but always, it sees.

You are never free.

The Shadow lurks.
