The Chase

The footsteps –

oh, he is coming!

That monster of the darkness -

that creature just burst alive!

Out from the basement,

he arrives.

Ferociously chasing me,

but in his own devil’s dance.

Oh, make him go away!

The torment to my mind –

the awful visions do play.

I scream a fierce sound

but it is drowned in the shadow

of his stature.

Tall and beastly;

a horror to my eyes.

Panic sets in deep.

The abnormality of me he eats at,

tasting of my sweet flesh.

There is no end to my suffering.
