Darkness blankets your eyes

For all you can see is the shadows

The shadows that lie in wait

Sweat drips down your face

And your breath becomes labored

Running and hiding

You try to out run them

The ones that are always following

Heart racing faster than normal

You trip and fall to the ground below you

The shadows creep up from behind

And lay their icy touch on your spine

Taking all warmth from you

Breathing slightly and vision fading

You try to get up

But you fall back down to the dewy grass

Eyelids fluttering

Heart rate slowing

Chill setting in

Nothing is left now

Trapped in the cold rain

It falls gracefully upon your face

Tears streak your face

As your breath leaves you

And as your vision fades

Time has caught up

Death has finally caught it's prey

The rain drips from the leaves

As your lifeless body lays in pain

Forever falling into a pit of darkness

And the shadows claim your sight

Never shall you be able to see the light again
