The Darkness



Running scared,

She sprints down the dim wooded path.

The darkness that had haunted her,

Hungry again.

She trips,

Landing on the ground in a pile of leaves.

She jumps up,

And runs on.

Afraid of The Shadow that stalks her,

She doesn't look back.

Slowing to a halt,

Her lungs burn,

Her legs weak.

Holding her breath,

Giving in to his power,

She slowly turns.

The Darkness surrounds her,

Satisfying his hunger.
