I ran into a dark lane
Blinded, as rain poured into my eyes,
The Essence of my escape was clouded,
and so was the will that pursued it
Terrified, though I could not resist a look behind
A look back at the predator
Looking to devour my skin
It's footsteps echoed as they got closer
Mine faded away as my soul approached it's sunset
perhaps it shall rise again,
or fall into a bottomless abyss haunted by the very thing that vanquished it
