Darkness Within

Darkness Within

Darkness swooping all around
Bewitching hour is not to frown
Haunting you through your dreams
Only to make you scream
Scratching so hard at the door
Slithering across the floor
Whispering between the cracks 
Only to hear a smack.

Evil lurks within the walls
Screaming down the halls
Looking for a soul to take
Trying to make you break.

Demons are obssesed
Trying to possess
Hiding deep down inside
Waiting for their joyride.

Darkness swooping all around
Draining you without a sound
Holding on with a string
So you do not become a thing.

Neat work.
Take care.

Yeah I know I'm sorry about that. I stumbled upon writers block here lately and with school out for the kids it's been crazy I've been working on this piece and I don't even know if I like how its going so it's been bugging me I think I'm over thinking it because I can picture it in my mind but having hard time writing it down hmmmm...... Maybe its because I'm working on it to early in the day.

Like A Phoenix

Burned to the ground,
Risen from the ashes,

Born again!

She is a mess,
Picked up pieces that where left,
