A Shadow

a shadow one night in my room a shadow behind the door a shadow a past unknown a shadow living or dead hidden behind my door a shadow dark like a ghost running in time hiding and hiding behind the door running and running behind the door running from the past running into the future running like a torch looking for it’s off-switch disappearing into my sleep a shadow

This sounds so much like one of my haunting nightmares or flashbacks.... All too familiar...
