SHADOW CREEP

Morning breaks, but nothing’s clear,
The shadows creep, they’re always near.
No matter where I turn, they wait,
In every step, they seal my fate.

They whisper words that suffocate,
Twisting truths that I create.
In silence, I can hear them crawl,
Closer now, they want it all.

The shadow follows, pulls me in,
A dark abyss, I can’t begin.
It drags me down with every breath,
A silent promise of my death.
I can’t escape, I can’t break free,
This darkness has become my sea.
Drowning slow, no one can see,
The shadow’s grip tightening on me.

It wasn’t always this way, I swear,
But now it’s like I’m gasping air.
The echo of a face, a stare,
That night, it made this nightmare.

I feel it crawl beneath my skin,
A battle I can’t hope to win.
It knows the cracks inside my mind,
It’s patient, waits, it takes its time.

The shadow follows, pulls me in,
A dark abyss, I can’t begin.
It drags me down with every breath,
A silent promise of my death.
I can’t escape, I can’t break free,
This darkness has become my sea.
Drowning slow, no one can see,
The shadow’s grip tightening on me.

Every memory turns to stone,
This rage inside makes me feel alone.
You erased us like we never burned,

The shadow follows, pulls me in,
A dark abyss, I can’t begin.
It drags me down with every breath,
A silent promise of my death.
