Entice the Soul

Escape from Darkness

Escape from Darkness

The steady pace of galloping hooves sound in my ears,

We’re just a just a flash of silver, escaping into the night,

No looking behind now, no turning back to my lurking fears,

I feel safe on her back, protected from all but my own tears,

I squeeze my eyes shut, but something doesn’t feel right,

Am I being followed by the darkness? Will I ever be free?

I try to push the thought away as a shiver runs down my spine,

Burying into her mane, she knows a safe place to hide me,

There is no need to control her, only her eyes are used to see, 

Linked together we are one, her soul entwined with mine,

I know we’re being hunted; we are the pray of darkness,

Not one place to hide where our presence won’t be found,

Swiftly like a breeze they are coming, we as their targets,

There’s no point in begging for mercy, the dark is heartless,

Darkness’s breath is on my back now; I feel our hearts pound,

But I swear I will never give them the pleasure of making a sound.
