It follows me around

In the stillness of the night,

I'm mesmerized, a fear creeps in

Shadowed by the light.

All alone in darkness

Everything that I fear,

A solitary soul embraces

With no one close, no one near.

Seeking out the poison

Forever lost in silent dreams,

I walk afraid and blind

Where echoes fade, and darkness teems.

A haunting dread, a chilling thought

No laughter shared, no gentle touch,

Of an isolation path, forever found

I'm always walking not as much.

Yet in this fear, a glimmer gleams

A spark of hope, amidst the shrine,

Holding me up close

Mine beats alone, a solemn sign.

So though the fear may grip me tight

For in the vastness of the unknown,

I wonder what I'm thinking

I may find solace, not alone.
