No I never was afraid
Of how the curtains glided willfully
Carried by the breeze
Blown through the window.
I was never afraid
Of how the trees scratched the windows
Carried by the breeze
Blown in through the leaves.
I never was afraid
Of how shadows danced like ghosts
With the light from the street lamps
Slipping through the curtains.
I never was afraid
Of how darkness covered so warmly
With light from the street lamps
Slipping out of my views.
I was afraid one night
The wind still waltzing with the curtain
A breeze that felt warm like a hug
The trees still swaying gently
A sound that was heard as a lullaby .
I was afraid one night
The shadows still waving to me
A friendly hello as I fall asleep
The darkness still covering my body
A guardian to hide me from the beasts.
I was still afraid one night
The breeze turned cold
Curtains were no longer to dance
The trees whistled a threat
The wind carried screams within it.
I was afraid one night
The shadows grew teeth and snapped
The light revealed it's true horrors
Darkness abandoned me and let me see
Beats of gore, seen only by streetlamp.
Sometimes it is darkness
Who is to spare our souls
And the light to reveal
That which intends to
Destroy us all.
