Darkness in the hall,

Shadow in the night.

Why do you taunt me?

Running circles around me while I sleep.

Watching my every move from the corner of the room.

A feeling of dread singes my stomach,

the closer you get,

The more your pain is forced through me.

The light is calling but you can not find it.

So you pester me,

For truth,

advice,

sacrifice.

But I will not surrender.

I will not be your vessel.

I will not give in.

I will not give in,
