Captive Gloom

Keep me close for I am terrified. The Sky's presence gloom with darkness; There is no light. I am chilled to my bones from the evening's cold. Slaughter the darkness Bring in the light Stop the cold For I am terrified! The moon and stars are our only light To see our breath in the evening's cold Everyone is terrified. They don't know who will be lurking out of the darkness. I can't wait to get out of the cold And frolic in the light, Forget about the horrid experience of living in darkness, But the past will still keep me terrified.
