The Grim

I seen it in the daylight. I seen it in the night. I seen it in the mirror And it gave me such a fright. In the shadows it travels; Unseen by others sight. I escaped it in a crash. I escaped it in a fight. But my heart began to fail And my fear began to hype. I ran, oh how I ran (tired); But to my surprise (you see); That no matter how fast I ran It caught up to me. My pain and fear had disappeared And it befriended me And walked me to our father’s home; To rest eternity.
