It Lurks in the Dark

Alone in the dark, afraid of what’s to come

I sit and weep in fear of the sun

Crying, hoping only few or some

Praying we won’t hear but a hum

I hide in fear of his deadly face

I close my eyes but feel him inside

He’s always close behind and but seems to hide

He seems to be very commanding

I try to run but he still seems to come

I can’t be scared while he stops and stares

I have nothing to spare all I have is air

His presence has begun to go numb

I have nothing else to give

I have nothing else to live for

This battle is not won
