Shadows

Slipping
Through the shadows
That holds me
In their grasp

Their edges
Like daggers
Carving through
My flesh

Falling
Into the abyss
That swallows me
Up

Fingers outstretched

Close to the wall
Skin hits spike
And there ends my fall

Hanging
Like an accused
Criminal
As the shadow closes in

Its talons
Take my hands
As well as my feet

And throws me back
Down
So that it may feast...
