shadows

These shadows have no face.
yet they know how to find me.
they surround me,
and they watch me.
they invited themselves into my home.
they stay close by
and never leave my side.

what do they want?
is it my flesh they need?
or is it my blood they crave?

these shadows stole my heart.
they sucked the life out of me
and ripped  my body apart.

These shadows took care of me at first.
Then they became cautious and started to plan.
they turned against me.
haunted me in my dreams
and now they dismiss me
through the gates of hell.
