In the shadows Date: Saturday, 9th November 2013 @ 09:31:40 AM AEST Topic: Sad Poetry Contributed By: deathbringer it's been too long since I've written anything, and I hope this is a decent enough piece not to be flayed alive(I jest, I jest, seriously though, it's been too long and I hope both my spelling and grammar have improved in this long absence from writing poetry) In the shadows did it lay Whispering softly that I may Find the hubris in my soul. In the shadows did it whisper Gently stroking on its whisker So I may fulfill my role. In the shadows did it help me Offered arm that held me gently And kept at bay the gaping hole. In the shadows did I stumble Startled by a distant rumble; Lost my footing and I fell. In the shadows did it hit me Evil scent that cannot be And found myself a guest in Hell.
