One Night Alone

I guess it's done for now. Enjoy.
~Faith

In silence I walk all alone
My friends have all left me here
To travel along this dark road
I shudder with involuntary fear

No one is here to speak with me
I have no one to talk to
I am walking this road alone
A cold wind blows my hair flew

Shivering I pull my jacket tighter
Picking up my lagging pace
I bow my head scared tonight
My hair veils my pale face

It's my fault really why I'm alone
I said I could do it tonight
So here I am walking this road
I guess I will have to trust my flashlight

I hear a sudden whoosh of air
Turning I peer fearfully behind me
I think I see a sudden shadow
I move to hastily flee

A voice murmurs my name
My heart is pounding as I run
The voice calls out again to me
If it's a joke it's no longer fun

My breaths are short pants
My feet pound on the ground
Hair bounces flying back
A new wave of strength I've found

The voice calls my name once more
I trip falling thrusting out hands
Scraped raw I'm almost in tears
I hear the steps I soon stand

Shaking I feel all this fear
Now I am going to succumb to dread
The voice comes to me in a whisper
Blood pounding within my head

Frantically I try to find the other
Eyes peering through the dark haze
I know that I am terrified
I try to focus my gaze

Fear pounds within me
I hear that voice once more
I can’t bare this pulsating fear
It shakes me to my core

That voice comes coldly
It scares me and I try to flee now
I don’t recognize it at all
But my name it knows how?

I stumble and fall
Tears flow from my eyes
A gentle grip helps me up
I gaze at someone in surprise

He smiles slightly and with a bow
Offers to walk me home tonight
I agree and we begin to walk
We walk where there is no light

His hair is the black of a raven's wing
His skin the paleness of a bed sheet
Dressed plainly in dark colors
Darkness enshrouds him from head to feet

We enter the darkest patch of shadows
He grabs me in his arms
I think that this is going to be different
Slowly he bites without doing harm

Teeth pierce the skin of my neck
I feel that I am going to fall down
I struggle uselessly in the strong grip
I scream without making a sound

The pounding of my heart is heard
My pulse races in fear
I don't know what is happening
I whimper releasing a tear

He coos softly almost soothingly
Whispers words of comfort to me
Draws me closer taking blood
Weakly I fall unable to protest or flee

Now he smiles and kneels down
-Take it I offer this to you-
He forces me to take his offering
I didn't know what was true

I know his voice and tremble in fear
I know who he really is
The winds of death come to life
The voice from before had been his

He takes away my life
As surely as he drinks my blood
Forcing me to receive his offering
My life whisked away in the flood

-A perfect child I have made thee-
He lifts me close to his chest
Brushing lips against my neck
I know he'll finish the rest

I close my eyes feeling fear
I pray that this is only a dream
Agony and anguish are my heart
My mouth opens in a silent scream

I am made of only fear
It warps my entire being
Trembling in the two strong arms
I refuse to know what I was seeing

Teeth of sharp needles pierce
Again to stab my delicate skin
Moaning in anguish and pain
Once more fear digs its claws in

Gently he holds me close to him
He brushes hair away from my face
-Never fear anymore-
He promises me a new place

I cry wishing I could runaway
He absently shushes me
Then kisses away my tears
Telling me I am more then I'd ever be

I am a fool to have listened to myself
I chose poorly tonight
Now I can no longer make mistakes
This had been my last day in light

The sun I will no longer see
My life has ended too young
I do not know why this has happened
I am ended before I have begun

Instead of returning home
I end up never going there at all
He takes me from this life
And I know that soon I'll withdraw
