The Dark

It reaches out to grab you

In the darkest of the nights

Don't you dare scream

It won't rid the frights

It'll creep a little closer

With each step you take

Maybe you'll get back,

But it's closer, each noise you make.

You wonder where to turn

They're everywhere you go 

It makes your stomach churn,

The secret you now know.

The dark is never empty,

The dark is never warm,

The dark was never meant

To gently lead you on.

Nevermind the closet monsters,

Nevermind bloodthirsty ghouls,

The dark has something, always,

You're just another victim, fool!

The dark is never empty, 

It whispers in your ear,

The dark is never empty,

Unwanted guests are near.

The dark is never silent,

The dark is never warm.

The dark is never silent,

The dark is never gone.
