In the Dark

It's there, it's somewhere, out in the darkness watching me Surrounding everything, watching with there yellow eyes Out to kill me, to torture me till I'm black and blue To put burning hot coals on my body as I scream In pain and terror and it's comming,comming for me You need to run, please! There is no goodbyes it's the end It's not human it's a monster it won't let you go I hear it, it's calling my name, they all sound the same I don't want to play this game but there right behind me Now there's no way out dont matter if you scream or shout I feel there fingers on my back digging in, it hurts There rotten breath on my neck, teeth getting ever close There's no way back, the monster in the dark hit its mark In the dark October 26, 2017
