I keep moving into the dark

Midnight falling on the walls
Shadows stretching often long
Each step feels incomplete 
Like the ground beneath is
Wrong
I keep moving into 
The dark
Trying not to turn around
But the silence keeps 
Pulling me back
While,
Every wall just fades away
Shadows of my choices 
Are always right here
calling up my name
They don’t leave 
when the sun goes down 
They walk with me everywhere 
Trying to tell me the truth
Burdening my soul.
