I feel it in the quiet, it sounds nothing alike. It follows me in the day, and surrounds me at night. It’s everywhere and nowhere. Just out of sight. It lingers in the corners, testing my might. It tempts and it taunts me, unseen in plain light. It dances on edges, too tall I seek flight. It grins in the silence, stealing all my light. It whispers in corners, it waits through it all, A shadow that lingers, a thief in the night.

A Thief in the Night.
I feel it in the quiet, it sounds nothing alike. It follows me in the day, and surrounds me at night. It’s everywhere and nowhere. Just out of sight. It lingers in the corners, testing my might. It tempts and it taunts me, unseen in plain light. It dances on edges, too tall I seek flight. It grins in the silence, stealing all my light. It whispers in corners, it waits through it all, A shadow that lingers, a thief in the night.
My little interpretation of the presence that lingers, praying on our demise. ✨
