Light

The light is on

It’s so bright

It highlights the path

To which you walk at night

As darkness encloses

Your steps are heard

Through the woods

Up the corridor

Silence is heard

Your stench is strong

I hear you whisper

My name in my ear

To which I run

I run in my dreams

Then reality overcomes me

I’m here in your house

You took me and now

I’m your trophy to keep

I remember that light

The one which you used

To walk through at night

Out my window I watched

Out my window I feared

The day you’d come

Was always near
