the light is off, the dark is on,
catch a glimpse before it's gone.
run in fear as it draws near.
hide your face, shed a tear.
it stares at you with ruby eyes,
you heart beats faster and quickly dies.
still alive but almost dead,
it draws closer, the thing you dread.
you can't escape, it is forever.
it will follow, ceasing never.
you finally perish and see the light.
darkness consumes it, you shriek in fright.
it has followed, to the other side,
nowhere and everywhere, can't seem to hide.
it takes you over, mind and soul.
two become one, you're finally whole.
