Night Awakes Fear

Walking alone in the middle of the night Holding hands with the cold in the pale moon light I hear more than my footsteps; look over my back The shadows from the trees were on the attack I walked a bit faster, my heart began to race The mist from my breath teased the skin on my face Should I make a right? But I look to the left In between my imagination and reason sat a cleft I began to panic, but what the heck for? Because fear was of the essence and nothing more Sounds ricocheted off of who knows where Like a scene displaced from your worst nightmare Something was watching or following me I was just waiting for something to jump out of a tree Or grab my shoulder or touch my back Causing me to urinate before I have a heart attack I took a deep breath and leaned against the next street light It must be my mind playing tricks on me tonight Please rate=0)
