Within the wood

a vale it’s said

Where shadow men lurk

With empty heads

With loathesome visage, pitted eyes and black hearts they skitter

To stalk my sight and haunt my perimeter

A blink, a shift, nary a thought

I see them dissolve into the murky blot

They stalk me now

I sense them closing

Even as I sit here prosing

My name will they write

In the list of those to forget?

Stitch pink triangle...

My eyes are rapidly moving side to side

He is duplicating my actions

Single difference being I do not have a smile on my face

I feel a presence behind me

Sweat beads are forming on my forehead

I close my eyes to slow my breathing

Only to find another pair of blazing eyes staring into mine when I open them...

Scanning, unfocused.

Something distant dances by

Vanishing from sight....

they are mine. all seven dark figures that haunt my dreams and torment my days. My Watchers. all day, everday, and i dont know why.

at first there was a small breath on my neck and a whisper in my ear, showing me what filled my nightmares as a child. now they are the only things that understand me.

one for the hope ive lost

two for the dreams my mother crushed

three for the days spent in darkne...

he’s watching

waiting

plotting

he wants to catch me off guard

snatch me away

with his claws

and drag me to his lair

hes made of dust and shadows

and he lurks under the cover

of tree branches and leaves

snaking through the rows of flowers

pink and purple and yellow

disturbed by his sinister intentions

the fog rolls around his ankles

pooling around his feet

i feel him getting closer

with each step i...

The time flys you see shadows that just don’t sit right you repeat to yourself there not real

Mystery spark up like night lights shining bright you can see things lurking within the night the shadows dark with light...

Dont you see it?

Am i going crazy?

Am I going insane?

Over there

They lurk

The shoadows their home

A creeping obsession for I am their own

The watch with beady eyes

And a menacing growl

Prowl and pounce

Ready to fight

Ready to kill

I think I may be insane

For you dont see them lurk

But surely you must

They stand over there

I may need some help

My brain may be broken

I know they arnt there

They jus...

The lies unraveled the truth comes to life the only time happiness exists is when I tell myself I’m fine, falling floating just getting by, I won’t say it but I know it I rather not bring it to light.

life…...

I see figures in the shadows, I know I do.

They stare when no ones looking,

They judge while hidden in darkness,

It makes me insane.

Always making sure I look perfect, no mistakes.

I starve to be perfect,

I paint my face in makeup to be perfect,

It makes me insane.

I see figures in the shadows, I know I do.

Or was it all in my head?...

They’re lurking in the shadows all night long

Waiting and planning to perpetrate wrong.

They do not reveal

What vehicles they’ll steal.

They stay hidden in the shadows

Their motives to conceal.

They’re lurking in the shadows all day long

Waiting for somebody to say something wrong.

I see their beady eyes

I often think them spies

And they lurk in the shadows

Spreading vicious lies.

They’re lurkin...
