Fear of Darkness

From The Chronicles of Death

"Fear of Darkness"

Darkness falls silent and cold here.
It stops to see me from time to time.
Then I shed a lonely, fearful tear.
Darkness knows what's on my mind.

I tell myself it's only darkness.
I'm the one who has to beware.
It's the fear I have to harness.
Fear that I alone shall bear.

In the inky blackness of night,
when terror is calling on me.
I'll have to conquer this' my fright,
of the "terrible things," I cannot see.

When darkness finally comes to call,
it's my wretched fear I fear the most!
Coming in through cold, cold walls,
slowly approaching me, I see a ghost!
