They watch,

They stare,

They lurk ,

Their breath caressing my neck.

Behind the corner

Behind the doors

Behind the people

The shadows lingers with eagerness.

They judge

They punish

They mock

The darkness is waiting impatiently.

I can not escape

They can not stop

They consume me

The abyss is grasping for more.

They are never full

They are always wanting

They are always pleading

The deep can not be filled

We can not be filled

We can not run

We can not escape

They are me and now I am we.
