The Dark Follower

I can feel myself slipping
A little every day
Back to the shadows
Where I once lost my way

The darkness is creeping
I can see It at night
Im just reaching for my lamp
To spread a little light

It lurches toward me
But I manage a smile
It shrinks back a little
But no more than a mile

It hungers for more
Just one little drag
It temps me with a blade
Cause It knows, then I'll be had

Im running fast now
To escape the pain
But It hears my blood
Gushing threw my vein

The darkness grabs at me
I force a laugh
My friends dont know
They just saved me from Its gaff

If follows for now
But I still see It crawl
Just waiting for me to slip
So in It, I can fall.
