Shadow

Feel me.
I am the dark shadow that crawls in the night.

I am only but one.
Where I live there is no light.

A blinding eye of darkness that travels within the mist.
To make you fear what comes with the dusk.

Just another dark shadow hiding in the veil of night.

I am the itch you feel.
The chill that crawls up your spine.
I will make your hair stand on end.

I am here to take up your space.
Breathe in your air.

Create you nightmares.
Control your fears.

Wake you.
Screaming into the blurry haze.

Feel me.
I am the dark shadow that crawls in the night.
