Alone in the Dark
By: Jack O'lan

Black is the color that soon will weave,
Only its color can truly deceive.
It seems as if the room is not there,
But the other people aren't aware.

There is something that truly kills,
It only does it for the thrills.
It can change its place,
From face to face.

They do not know what lurks in the night,
What truly scares them into a girlish fright.
It is always watching your every move,
It settles into everyones groove.

It can truly taste fear,
You can feel it when it comes near.
There is no running when you find it close by,
You might as well sit there and hope to die.

There is something that can truly kill,
It is of sub-conscious thrill.
It is the mind that seeks your fear,
It has only one chance to get you near.

In that time you shall not awake,
For your skin it will rake.
There is no escape,
You will not wake.

This is a dream,
But instilled of fear.
When you wake up,
It will come near.
