Following Me...
Following Me...In the darkness, someone watches, lurking forward towards me
Sneaking through the paths and trails, following my every move
Where I wander no one knows, in the path that only I can see
Someone's out there, coming closer, inhabiting the space with me...
To where I go, it is not known, when you are far from here In the midst of shadowed walkways, footsteps fall in time
Drawing nearer, watching closely, panic fills my mind Steps come faster, moving further, I hear them from behind...
From out of the darkness into the light, the brilliance hurts my eyes
Coming closer, can not hide, the movements are coming about
Stop them, divert from where you are to go, keep them back away from me
In echoes their footsteps grow, closer and yet what is it I see?
Darkness, nothing, a trail left empty.
Where are the footsteps, the noises behind me
What caused my terror within
Nothing, left with nothing at all
