An Endless Night
They're finding their way closer.
Within this thick underbrush,
I cannot find comfort.
Delirium driving me insane,
I am the only to blame.
All I can do is wander,
as the cries creep closer.
One wrong step,
can bring certain death.
In this night,
I have no sense of sight.
in this light,
i feel nothing but contrite.
Relying solely on instinct,
i feel my way through.
This place is execution for my mistake.
Can I survive?
Can I strive?
My hopes are shot down by the reality.
Within this darkness,
I suddenly feel a change within;
a sort of deja vu.
This feeling unsettles me,
as a stroke of warmth overcomes.
I hear nearby rustling.
They are coming.
Silent and still,
shaking and uneasy,
Embracing the hilt of my only hope,
I pray to god for the strength to carry on,
then run at them.
Will I live to see another day?
