The streets silence flows around

a mist glistens, droplets isolated in the cold moonlight

(I can hear you)

Footsteps come from every direction

Slow and steady, pounding blood in my head

as I walk faster, keeping pace with a silent beat

(He's behind you)

I can't see but I can hear something

Creeping, creeping, so softly

filling my mind with dread

(Screaming at me)

The silence deafens, my mind confused

Shifting sideways glances

(I can see you)

Nothing there.....no one, but the footsteps follow

Time stops and hangs in the air

It tastes

sweet

Just for a second a lifetime flashes

and fades

(I know you)

memories cling to life

(Please leave me)

I climbed away once

(I didn't......)

(Help)
