Shadow People

A gale takes hold outside

The tapping starts again

My hands go to my ears

My head is wracked in pain



They whisper from the cracks

That run within the walls

Everything gets louder

As the darkness calls



Black shadows fleeting past

They I know they're there

They mock me, laugh and scream

They stop, they stand and glare



From all everywhere around me

I feel their glittering eyes

Feeding on the darkness

Growing on their lies



This house is steeped in evil

Its strength is from my fear

And I can't go on living

If I must live here
