One of Those Kinds of Nights
North wind seemed to breathe heavier tonight
I felt a shadow gargoyle sit down on my chest
My lungs labored to breathe,
I heard two sets of footsteps,
Was someone following me?
I felt threatened without understanding why
I stumbled on a chunk of rock,
and wondered if it was a skull
It was one of those kinds of nights
A flashlight would have made all the difference to me
