Shadows In The Night

Shadows in the night, calling
out to me.
Echoes of pain
shiver down my spine.
The cool night air freezes in my
lungs, as I run.
Branches tangle in my hair,
scratching my skin.
My legs grow weak
and I know then that I cannot escape.
I fall and await my fate.
Just another
shadow in the night.

I am alone in my pain
and sorrow. A mere shadow
of my old self.
Alone in my thoughts.
Left to defend myself,
from my fears.
Alone in pain and sorrow.
