Nyte Shadows

I sit here alone in the dark
Waiting, waiting,shadows
Nyte Shadows all around
Flirting, first here -then there

I frantically cast about
Trying to keep terrors at bay
They keep closing in on me
Close, ohh... soo close...

To fight this losing battle
It is one I chose to fight
I fight and fight, again and again
But it is so hard... so very hard

I go out amongst the people
Friends and others alike
To laugh, to be merry and gay
Trying to hold Nyte Shadows at bay

The people now are all gone
Alone, I sit here again
The thoughts circling
Around and around inside my head

Alone, a choice facing me now
Choices are always there to make
Alone, always the choice to make
Between fighting or giving up the battle

The bottle of pills beckoning me
As shadows crowd in closer
The pull is strong, the choice
Mine to make... which choice

Alone, always a choice
Hands reaching out
As shadows creep closer yet
Stopping short - undecided

Which choice for me tonight
Will I or will I not
Undecided, I can't answer
For tonight...

I really don't know.
