Watching Me

As the dark, black veil covered the sodden face,
I knew that trouble was on the verge here.
For she holds strong power and has no grace 
And pulls her gratitude and joy out of fear.
 
Her eyes are filled with salty wet tears,
She cries with piercing screams high and loud. 
Avoid rivers, and lakes and streams and piers,
Cities and dales and planes and the crowd.
 
Keep you eyes open, discard love, and be proud.
For she senses the fear from deep within
your soul. She will find you with her very sound,
Ugly it is. You cannot run so best begin
 
To proclaim your prayers to sweet Elohim.
Prepare to die this night in fate alone.
She will find you due to all of your sin
And shall eat you down to your white, tick bone.
 
She does not care about how you feel,
She only wishes to reveal
All the terrors of the night form her through,
Do not search for her, she will search for you
 
There is a beast within my cage 
When he comes out it is in rage 
I fear my safety, I fear my peace
I can see victims in my reach
Standing, sitting and stay near  
I do not wish to hurt you, 
Do you see my immense fear?
For I am scared of this monster too.
He only appears when I am in pain,
It makes me feel so ugly and vain
I control him with every single word I hear
If he shows I will need you to disappear
For if you risk in his appearance in your stay,
He will only desire to make you his prey.    

So run, run for you life

we will find you in the night.
