Darkness

The darkness grows, shadows creep Laughter fades, fears seep In the night, silence breaks Screams grow nearer, heart's ache Shadows dance upon the wall Night devours, one and all Fears and doubts, eternal games Darkness claims, with endless pains The wind it howls, a mournful sigh Shadows twist, darkness lies In wait for you, with open arms Screams grow louder, charnel farms In the darkness, no reprieve Shadows breathe, forever leave Laughter's gone, night consumes All that's known, in darkened rooms And in the end, the darkness stays A haunting presence, endless days A reminder of the fears we've known A shadow that forever will be shown.
