The calling

trapped in a forest with an unending night
every sound fills my heart with fright
feeling the rich air fill my lungs
smell the rain from miles away

i hear the distinct crack of a twig
signalling something big
i look around and see nothing
but i know something is near

i hear the footsteps behind me too late
i knew that i took the bait
i feel the knife pierce my side
today is the day that die i may

i feel the blood slowly pouring
i remember the feeling of soaring
finally i die in peace
i no longer know fear
