Terror In the Night

A scream rings out into the night
Tortured with terror ,overcome by fright
I search to find who it may be
Only to see death staring back at me
Cold with no motion
Hate committed without one notion
A demon starving for blood
Took this life while gasping in its violent flood
Fear fills my dark sky as death points to me
Then waves goodbye
