Shadow

The shadow closes around me
I daren't open my eyes
I know it's there, I can sense it
Yet I don't want to flee

The shadow strike fear into my heart
Causes me lots of pain
The shadow knows that I know
That I don't want to part

'who are you?' I say to the shadow
No answer he replies
It doesn't matter because why say what I can read in his eyes
It's all because of that day in the meadow

My past horrors start to take flight
It's fingers gripping into my skin
It's burned into my memory
The happenings of that night
