Night of Shadows

Tears fall down my face, coating the floor
In this desolate house full of shadows
The drops echo against the walls
Wind brushed the shingles causing the house to shiver
Moaning floors, loud banging doors
Darkness fills the room
Shadows dance on the walls, though no light has appeared
Hear the distant howl of the lone wolf crying to the moon
I cradle my legs and bury my face
Cutting off all sight, to leave me in an even darker place
No one speaks, no sound is uttered
Am I alive or am I dead
People come, people go
But I’m left here alone, never to leave my soulless cell
People scream, people run away from me
What do they see?
A child born of water and shadow
A child born of death and fright
Always to cry, but I can’t remember why
I call out into the silent night, yelling and screaming with fright
Cursing and cussing causing the fright that envelopes people at night
Hidden from everyone’s sight, only to be heard crying in the night
People run away us but never draw near to the lone wolves trapped in the ravage night
