Heartbeat

Loud footsteps on the pavement along with puddles of mud

Rain frolicking over her umbrella

She looked over her shoulder

And saw nothing more but a glimpse of shadow

But darkness mirrors her eyes

"Who's there?" she asked with uncertain volume

She chose to move her shaky limbs

Cold wind kissed her bare shoulders

And it flushed her pale white cheeks

She hears her clattering teeth along with fast heartbeats

Her feet moved to the speed of the beats but it wasn't the only one

She looked back again and it was like the first

Nothing. Just black corners with the menacing shadow

She chose to ignore it and turned around

A light on the porch raised her spirit

She stretched her arms to reach

To reach for her only hope

But the door slammed shut and the light went out

And so it all faded to canvas.
