Tears to Shed

Candle flickering
Burning bright
I walk in to darkness
Stepping out from the light

Shapes surrounding
Shadows loom
My footsteps patter
The end is soon

Turning a corner
Holding my light
Hit and falling
Shrieking from fright

I let go
My light falls
Surrounded by darkness
In the narrow halls

Blood running
From my head
I close my eyes
No more tears to shed
