Escape

The man looks me in the eye
And I quickly look away
I had never thought
There would ever come a day
When I'm offering my soul
I'm offering my heart
Who knows if it's really a trap and I will fall apart?
So I take a step back
While I keep my head down
I keep walking carefully
And never make a sound
But then there is a "creak"
And he yanks his neck around
To see where I'm going next
And if I can be found
I run into the woods
I climb upon a tree
I close my eyes and pray
And then I count to three
I slowly release my lids
And feel upon my face
A gash upon my lips
And on my chin's base
I feel the stinging of my blood
And a trickle down my spin
Will he ever find me on this cold moon lit night?
But he can smell the blood
And he can smell the fear
So i must run away
And escape from here
I take a leaping jump
To let myself fall
There is no time upon the tree for me to even crawl
So I slip off my shoes
And yet I run again
Because who knows,
This may be my last time
As a human.

Predator.

He can hear your loud breathing, So calm it down and sigh, Maybe if we're lucky he will Only pass us bye. Don't shift, don't move or make a sound, He'll hear it, don't you know.

Defeat

I knew the light was fading soon, The tree line growing near. I had to make it before the creatures caught up to me. Panic stricken my fate continued to grow with fear.

Into the darkness she flees Not knowing what lies in wait amongst the trees Leaves crackling underfoot Rustling, crumpling, crushing old chestnuts The fear of the chase The moonlight shining on...

Lurking In The Dark

If I close my eyes Will it all go away. How loud do I have to scream. How hard do I have to pray. Scared to open my eyes, Because I know nothing changed. You're still here. You're still deranged.
