Burning shadows
Crawl towards meThey grab at me
And try to take me
Into the voidI don't know how to
Avoid them
I try my best but
They will now restUntil they drag me
DownThey burst forth
From the ground
And follow me around
Like they are bound
To meWhy?
They can't get me
But they still tryWhy?
They know I've got my
Weaknesses
But they can't find themBut when they do
They will drag me down
With them
