no matter the villain<br />
no matter the method,<br />
certain death might creep close by<br />
hiding around corners<br />
and crawling ?round your feet<br />
while you wait for your fate that is nigh<br />
whether it?s eight legs<br />
or a countless many<br />
the shadows might hold the nests of your foes<br />
and with each step<br />
you wait afraid<br />
of what might be squirming beneath your toes<br />
maybe it?s laughing<br />
or a little doll?s whisper<br />
but the sound of puppets may fill the void<br />
and when your eyes cannot help you<br />
and your mind is set free<br />
you?ll find your sanity playfully destroyed<br />
whether it?s stifling panic<br />
or thick black blood<br />
your legs will give out in their tread<br />
the murky darkness<br />
but what?s worse than the vastness<br />
or the absence of form<br />
is when the tenebrous gloom starts to cave in<br />
your cries echo off walls<br />
as your strides start a beat<br />
and you curl up tight in your coffin<br />
the essence of darkness<br />
may just be solitude<br />
the feeling of floundering in your own inner<br />
war<br />
you are a moon<br />
in a world with no sun<br />
and your pitch-black heart sinks to the floor<br />
couldn't one say<br />
that the fear of the dark<br />
is the ultimate fear?<br />
for what lies in the dark<br />
can take the form<br />
of whatever you hope won?t come near<br />
-Rylie Elison<br />
might feel like water<br />
and you?ll find yourself drowning in dread<br />
