Shadows In The Night

Night is here once again
Fear overrides my sleep
It will keep me awake till dawn
When I can finally close my eyes

I welcome the darkness
It makes it easier to be unseen
I fear the echo of footsteps
It searches for where I might hide

When will it all end
This overwhelming fear of mine
I am exhausted and weary
I cannot go on

I know it is time to stop running
My weary soul must rest
It is time to face the shadows
That stalked me in the night
