Whispers of Shadows

In shadows deep, I walk alone,  

The chill of night, a whispered tone.  

Footsteps echo, heartbeats race,  

A fleeting glimpse of a fading face.  


Breath quickens, a shiver runs,  

The weight of silence, a thousand guns.  

I turn, and in the darkness, find  

A figure lurking, intent and blind.  


Time slows, each heartbeat rings,  

A dance of fate with fatal strings.  

A flash of steel, a glint of light,  

A moment frozen, then endless night.  


Pain blooms sharp, a stolen breath,  

The world spins down, a brush with death.  

I reach for solace, a desperate plea,  

But all that's left is the fading me.  


Memories flicker, like stars in flight,  

A life once vibrant, now lost to night.  

In this stillness, I drift away,  

A whisper of shadows where I used to stay.
