by Kristen Hewitt
Standing in the shadows,
staring at the wall…
looking in the mirror,
walking down the hall…
gazing down the courtyard,
dreaming of what used to be…
something cold and evil,
haunts this place with me…
Running through the darkness.
Escaping the unknown…
Falling over branches,
Tripping over stones…
Gathering up my skirts,
Trying not to look behind…
something cold and evil,
tries to control my mind,…
Hiding in the graveyard,
Weaving through the trees…
Feeling cold and tired.
Breathing without ease…
Searching through the forest,
Looking out for an escape…
something cold and evil,
stares into my face…
Giving into terror…
Knowing I have lost.
Battling for possession.
Fighting for the cost…
Losing my protection…
Feeling left behind.
something cold and evil,
takes away my mind…
