Darkness
Darkness is silent
Like a predator in the night
Like a lioness stalking its prey
Watchful
Waiting
Silent
Deadly
A foreboding sense of danger hangs in the air of darkness
You know you must get out of its sight
Yet you don't know how
It lurks closer and closer
Waiting to engulf you
Swallow you whole into its black depths
Never to return again
Like the lioness stalking its prey
Far enough away
Just out of sight
But close enough that you know it's there
Waiting
Watching
The moment you finally feel safe
The darkness pounces upon you
Enveloping you in its deadly embrace
Smothering you
Be watchful of the darkness
For like a lioness
It can cut the strings of life
