Bathed in moonlight
I stare through the night

As shadows pass over me
A shiver runs down my spine
Snaking through me like a growing vine

The pain washes over me
Flowing through my veins
The source of which I can't explain

I'm only sixteen
But have so much to fear
Like the whispers in my head, only I can hear

The emptiness in me
Tears at my soul
The darkness threatening to devour me whole

The fear is a monster
It attacks with sharp claws
And snaps at my heart with huge dripping jaws

Crystal droplets flow down my face
In the shadows I stand and cry
Still a child, yet waiting to die [comments] => 1 [counter] => 184 [topic] => 13 [informant] => JadedExistence [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )

A Child Waiting

Standing in the darkness
Bathed in moonlight
I stare through the night

As shadows pass over me
A shiver runs down my spine
Snaking through me like a growing vine

The pain washes over me
Flowing through my veins
The source of which I can't explain

I'm only sixteen
But have so much to fear
Like the whispers in my head, only I can hear

The emptiness in me
Tears at my soul
The darkness threatening to devour me whole

The fear is a monster
It attacks with sharp claws
And snaps at my heart with huge dripping jaws

Crystal droplets flow down my face
In the shadows I stand and cry
Still a child, yet waiting to die
