Lurking in Shadows
By Nomar
Knight
My vision shifts to
the darkness
Wondering if it
happened
Did I see
movement
A lump forms in my
throat
I coax my frozen
legs
Toward
uncertainty
Imagining the
monster
Hiding in the
shade
Silence breaks
For deep breaths
pant
Corroded lungs
chime
A menacing
chant
Pushed by fear
I reach into the
night
Praying emptiness
roams
But something pulls
me
Embraced by
evil
Hateful eyes stare
back
Death stands
near
Lurking in
shadows
Recognition
screams
I know you
Ebony pools
reflect
The shadow is
me
