Lurking In The Darkness

Brief seconds of light,
can’t put up a fight,
when the shadows dance in the darkness.

Mere moments in the sun,
are not enough for one,
to escape the ones who are heartless.

Onto the Earth,
since the day of its birth,
the evil stretches so parlous.

For even if you flee,
it will always be,
right behind you regardless.

Until one merges with two,
and the shadows engulf you,
stay away from the darkness.
