No-One Else Sees

Spirit of night no one else sees patiently waits for darkness to be. Cleverly hiding in shadows nearby as stale humid air feels muggy yet dry. Demon of evil as I can foretell came from the pits of damnation's Hell. I know when you linger I feel you anxiously waiting as I am too. And as my eyes close I sense your delight preparing for war in the midst of the night. With cowardly ways you fight unfair only to strike when my mind's unaware. The strength of your touch takes my breath from me as you attack fast and forcefully. I've seen you growl I've heard you hiss felt the strong force of your deadly kiss. I've looked in your eyes black as coal stood face to face and fought for my soul. I've come to know you as you well know me yes, this nightly battle no one else sees.
