Chasing Fears
January 22, 2012
Hiding in the willows
Leaving no trace behind me
Seeing those figures
Dancing across my mind
Innocence lingering
In the stale air
A cold night
Embraces my body
A will to speak
Left me speechless
Conquering my fears
By being fearful
Stepping on hot coals
The searing pain
Encasing me
A narrow staircase
Never ending
Though I keep walking
The endless peril
Exciting me
The faces of ghosts
Taunting me
My effervescent dreams
Becoming haunting
Imprinting my soul
A chill numbing my bones
I'm no longer taken.
