The Night

As I travel in this forest

I shiver in the dusk's cool gloom

Although alone, I hear a voice

It softly whispers to me "Doom".  

The darkness closes in

Absorbs the crevases of my mind

Preying on my emotions

To the world my heart is blind.  

Careless and unfeeling

I live my life alone

Moving unnoticably from place to place

With no true place to call my home.  

The evil comes to call once more

Offerring me forever peace and rest

To lay me down in velvet shadows

And freely go where I'm known best.

The darkest hour comes

And so I stand to fight

But can I possibly keep my life

In the shadows of the night?
