Stillness

Im so still
In the dead of night
the darkness can kill
Without a fight

As it comes
It's so near
I hear the drums
They strike fear

Dashed into my heart
From here i must depart
To another place i dart
My sprint is state of the art

I will soon be fulfilled
But this is not true
My blood it has spilled 
And my pride too

All lost in the fire 
The blaze without light 
My soul is its desire
To feed on it is its delight.
