Alone...
The night creeps upon you,
you shiver and try to hide,
but it closes in from all sides.
Alone...
Fear rushes through your body,
afraid of what the night conceals
or -- of what it can reveal.
Alone...
Eyes wide open,
shadows begin to take shape,
on the walls and on drapes.
Alone...
The darkness poisons your sleep,
even as it caresses your skin,
your heart beating fast within.
Alone...
Darkness wraps you in its cold arms.
Paralyzed, a single tear drops
and you scream for it to stop
Alone...
