The Shadow Man
By Angel Princess Stephanie

This started out as a poem about nothing, and then to me it turned into everything.

Footsteps
In the dark
They follow
No will
Why?
Afraid of the shadow man
Little one?
You should be
He'll take you
Steal your soul and free will
Eyes of inferno
Core of piercing crystal
They say it's the window to the soul
I can see the questions
Can you?
The shadow man
Is no shadow after all
He is our world
Our life
The shadow man.
