In the dead of night
The darkness falls
Sending the masses home
Leaving a stark barren street
Echos of a distant train
Split the silence
A cat is on a silent prowl
Looking for food
And as you sleep
Dreams floating through
The madness comes to call
Sending you into nightmares
Where fate takes control
And you must meet
Your demons face to face
For the lies you told
Will always come after you
Sooner or later

Ooh. Dark and foreboding.
Thanks, that’s what I was going for. 🙂
Very dark write.
That is the tone I was looking for.
You succeeded.
Thanks.
