I am lost
the dark that never bothered me
as a child
now breathes and moves
brings monsters that
were hiding under my bed
to life
it yearns to drink
my innocence
like a newborn vampire freshly awakened from the grave
My kingdom for some holy water!
anything to clear the blood
pounding through me
footsteps are getting closer
I cannot outrun my shadow
it festers in secrets
creates secret societies
societies in hiding demanding the truth
a silent shout that no one can hear
who would want to?
I push
fight
scream against the coming storm
My light has vanished
that shimmering
narrow beacon of hope
which wasn’t enough to conquer the nightmares
In fact it gave them a taste of who I am
