Friend

You took a step and opened the door

An entrance to what you call your home

Except that it is eerier than before

And the people inside has left you alone

Alone with your bootless and fleeting thoughts

Not physically, but you were solitary by your side

It's actually funny, and kind of absurd

What long sleeves and a fake smile could hide

You prayed and asked God for someone

Someone who you could be with together

Someone who you could trust and be your companion

But it seems like the Almighty has left you no answer

Alone within four empty walls and floor and ceiling

And a window which lets the moonlight through

But then a shadow - no, a figure creeping

Saying "Hello!" and that was when you knew

You closed your eyes and tried to run

And you felt the chill go down to your core

But then you realized all your suffering will be gone

Because this is what you asked God for

You are now not alone and because this is

The night when all you have will end

The suffering goes with your blood and heart that will cease

Because the shadow - no, the figure of the night is your friend
