Lurking Shadow
In the dead of night,
Not a single person in sight.
The street lamps lit and the tree strands sit
The breeze hits my face, a cold hug on my cheeks
Steps tap from behind,
I walk a bit faster, I’m on the grind
Listen again,
It follows me still,
This ick sticks, it gives me chills.
Right, right, right, right
Still follows,
Tap,tap,tap,tap
The shadow did not fall for my trap
It lingers, oh crap.
The fear starts to settle in,
I could feel the breathe on my skin.
Too afraid to look behind.
There was no where left to hide.
I leave to find a busy street.
With lots of people and food to eat.
I see others and chasing cars.
Not alone, like the stars.
The joyous sounds of foot steps mixed with others.
Nothing could happen if there is children out with their mothers?
I look behind and my heart dropped.
Until finally, the chill stopped.
