THERE LIES THE DARKNESS

In the depths of night, 

Where shadows creep and roam, 

There lies a darkness, 

That chills you to the bone. 

The silence is eerie, 

Broken only by the whispers, 

Of things unseen, 

That haunt these twisted vistas. 

A shiver runs down your spine, 

As you sense a presence near, 

And your heart starts racing, 

With an engulfing wave of fear. 

Beneath the cloak of darkness, 

Lurks something that can't be seen, 

Something malevolent, 

That should never have been. 

So tread carefully, my friend, 

And stay out of the night, 

For there are things that dwell there, 

That could steal away your light.
