With each new passing
Dreams and days
Darkness lasting
Nocturnal haze
Never knowing
If or when
These will pass
Or come again
Feeling threatened
Feeling scared
Unknown enemy
Your soul ensnared
Running blindly
The grip gets tighter
Until finally
Your chest feels lighter
Keep your guard
For the next one
Isn't far
Anytime anywhere
The darkened villain
May strike its fear
