fear of the dark
Stay out of the dark,
That's where danger lies.
Is that an arm I see,
Of the the forsaken?
Are the slits I see,
Of the shrivelled and gone?
I risk another step,
And all I hear,
Is the cracking of knuckles
From the uglies that dwell.
My heart takes a plunge,
In the abyss.
"Is this where it ends?"
I question myself.
For it is not the darkness that I fear,
But what it stomachs,
Being purged back at me.
