Rustic colours smother ground
In the darkness, ne'er a sound
Glowing embers of dying day
Nocturnal beasts come out to play
And whence in the Darkness, they do prowl
The owls hoot, the wolves growl
Skeletal trees begin to dance
Relased from their once rigid stance
The silver moon, the kiss of life
The hunter hides, with switchblade knife
The roaming eyes of Evil stare
The Zombie rises from his lair
The moon, upon the lakes, reflected
Paralysis, as fear's injected
The Dark abode of Beasts, nocturnal
Upon this land, this Terror Firma

*giggles* I had one too.. I stopped seeing her, now i have this crazy feeling that my Sociology teacher knows my shrink. It's reaaaly freaky because my shrink teaches psychology at the uni my teacher was at.. who also studied psychology. Did i mention i live in a small town? i miss my shrink, shes pretty, (most randomest reason to see a shrink but w/e)
