Shadows In The Night

An older poem.

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.
