Shadows

Today I feel strong, my weakness has gone. Today I feel brave, its life that I crave...

It's beautiful outside, with the warm sun glowing. I can feel a slight chill, of the soft breeze blowing...

I walk through the brush, the leaves crush beneath me. I'm off to the place, where soon u will meet me...

The wind is blowing harder, the birds aren't chirping. It's dark outside now, and the shadows are lurking...

Where are you Ashley? Why don't you believe me? You nowhere around. How could you abandon me?

They seem to get closer, I can feel them surrounding. My feet move faster, my heart starts pounding...

No one can hear me, no ones around. As I begin to run, I fall to the ground...

I crawl to our tree, I sit there and hide. These things will find me, I'm so scared to die!

The shadows have stopped, I hope they don't see me. I need you here, I want you to free me...

I wait there for hours, I think they have gone. I slowly get up to find out I'm wrong...

I look at their face, and see no expression. They have no eyes, they have no emotion...

I don't know what they are, but they are not humans. I think they are ghosts, I think they are demons...

They've come to take me, I see them in my dreams. They are here now, to swallow my screams...

I take a deep breath, and swallow my fear. I can feel the cold air, as it hits my tears...

I cant move a muscle, and my heart is pounding. I'm paralyzed in fear, and my mind is bleeding...

It's the end now, I just wanted you to believe me. But promise me this, please don't forget me...

His name was Micheal, he was a wonderful guy, but he had some problems that made me cry...

He was my best friend, for him I would die, I would steal, I would cheat, for him I would lie...

I talked to him the other day, that was the last that Ive heard. He told me they were coming, I remember the words...

...I found him the next night sitting by the tree, with the look of fright, waiting for me...

I held his hand as he gasped for air, I should have got something but nothing was there...

It was deep in the forest, by our favorite spot to go. I should have gone out there, but i didn't show...

He started to say something, I lean in to hear. But his words were muffled with the sound of fear...

I turn around; to see them lurking, the shadows were coming, he wasn't joking...

I should have believed him. I should have been there, To whip is tears and ease his fear...

I turned back around, his eyes have closed, his hand went limp, there was blood on his clothes...

I leaned down slowly, I kissed his cheek. I whispered I'm sorry, I whispered I'm weak...

Three days have passed, without a memory lost. I guess that night, his coin was tossed...

I remember his fear, I remember his eyes, I remember the shadows, I remember saying bye...

They took him that night, I wish it was I. He showed his strength, on the night that he died...

I want you to know, I will never forget you! I'm so sorry Micheal, That I didn't believe you...
