Shadows

Something is lurking in the
woods, only coming during
the night to watch
it's prey, what will it do next?
Some people say that it
goes away when it's
morning, is it true?
I go searching for that something
at night, but only to get
lost. Now I wonder
if I'm its next prey,
to only be lost
forever. Not knowing
or caring my family waits
the return of me.
That something comes for
me, so now I die to
go elsewhere never to return
to my home or my life.
But others know what have
become of me while my
family awaits the
return of me.
