Night brings forth a distant world <br />Of my many hidden dreams <br />With every silent step unfurled <br />Now nothing heard but screams <br /> <br />I sit beneath my shadow here <br />Peering over what I knew <br />Hiding behind the hidden fear <br />Of what I know is true <br /> <br />The chilly winds and vicious night <br />Test my will and love of life <br />Within this courage lives the fright <br />This bleeding heart your jagged knife <br /> <br />Shadows dance upon my wall <br />An eerie sound within your voice <br />I close my eyes and hope to fall <br />In sinking darkness do rejoice<br /><br />Zoe Elsworth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-dark-25/
