Footsteps flurrying down the halls,
darkness clear, silence calls,
shaking hands run through my hair,
are they coming? are they there?
raven crows, sounds of death,
calm down and slow your breath,
empty eyes, mind a blaze
body faint, all a haze,
thoughts buried in mounds of fears,
fake noises, fooling my ears,
movements unseen in the night,
I grip the railing, holding tight,
embracing fears, seeking mercy
I shall not live until I'm thirty
can I believe what I've seen?
Can even my crimes be reprieved?
I cannot feel, for I am numb,
I wish I could reverse what I've done
