Horrified

We live in the dark
where the only light comes from
ethereal eyes
that stalk us through this hell
my heart pounds so hard I
think it might stop
I am broken, breathing so hard
my lungs are on fire
and I can’t out run these demons
I can’t get away from
shadows that chase me through
the halls because even when I sleep
they follow and stalk
we live in the dark
and we’ll die in the dark.
