My Poetry

The Night

As I awaken I look all about me
I see the awakening world
But nay! That's not right
We're living in fright 
Of the wars and the horrors untold.

The grey, dark world settles 'round me
The darkness, it covers the land
And yes, this one's right
As I look at the sight
At the one with the killer's hand.

Oh, how she groans to see me
And know that I see her as well
The story untold
As I watch it unfold
It strikes terror and puts me under a spell.

She knows that she has finally caught me
She knows that I know it too
With the time that I'm in
It seems somewhat grim
And I do not know what to do.

It feels extremely surreal to me
As I look into the way that it is here
Trying to go now
But not knowing how
And I look at her with more fear.

She approaches, watching me
I can't move from my spot
I want to run
But that's no fun
As I feel my soul start to rot.

She grabs hold of me
I feel small pricks of pain
Darkness enfolds me
I can't breathe
And now I won't have to feel ever again.
