Shadow

Walking down the shallow valley I feel the sun setting on my back
I listen to nature whispering it's enchanted voice and I hear
I hear silence. The world around me has now stopped.

We saw each other again as if it was the first time.
Oh how I love you.
You created my love and I destroyed your hate.

I dare to love you again.
My heart falls for you and dies for you. I will die for you.
I'll have to decide.

Nonchalant I walk further down the valley with the sun on my back
And the darkness in front of me.
I must chose the light or chose the dark.

It's getting late.
Creatures of the night begin to free themselves from the light.
It's a whole new world and I'm the stranger.

Silence begins to fade and the image that was once in front of me
Has now hidden itself with the dark.
I can not see anymore.

I slowly walk back trying to get a grip on reality
And trying to escape nothing.
I am not lost and not found.

I drop to my knees and whisper to myself,
"Is it real or just my imagination"
Then something grabs my shoulder.

I'm not scared, for I knew it was coming for me.
I close my eyes and turn around to face the stranger.
I open them very slowy and look up towards its face.

Nobody is there.
I hear silence again
And I hear footsteps.

I stand up and start running towards the last light
But darkness is catching up with me.
The footsteps are getting louder.

I run faster as the footsteps get louder.
I hear an echo of loud whispers.
I hear somebody calling my name!

I see the light!
I can feel the stranger's breath on my neck!
I scream as I try to run faster!

I reach the porch light and the mystery figure is right beside me!
I grab something to try and hit it but nothing is hurting it!
Then I realized that it was just my shadow again.
