From the shadows his hand took a hold of my wrist, <br />I panicked and struggled to escape his tight grip, <br /> <br />I heard his footsteps creep behind mine <br />the sweat dripped and tears filled my eyes, <br />I ran <br />until reaching an empty road dead as the night, <br />It scared me the most. <br /> <br />I didn't look behind <br />he may be ready to attack at any time, <br />I regained my courage and turned to see if he would show, <br />His where abouts I did not know, <br /> <br />There I was <br />Standing alone, <br />Surrounded by mist and the trees that spoke, <br />The sun started to fall <br />my heart beat began to rise, <br />As once again <br />I felt his hand touch mine.<br /><br />Gary McPhail<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lurking-in-the-dark/
