Hidden in the darkness, in the shadows, crouching
Elfin, or is it skeletal, like paper, like a wisp of smoke?
Longing eyes, strands of saliva oozing down a tiny chin
Predatorial, sniffing, snarling, waiting, watching, pouncing
Heart racing, blood scented, bestial cry, frightened prey
Everything running, always running, running faster
Run, run, run all you like, the shadows always catch you, in the end
