Too late to go back
to where I don't even know
Just left without looking back
and ended up cold and alone
Sounds are amplified here
as if this place was alive
The wind like a breath on my neck
at least I hope it is wind
Shadows move in the distance
dancing in the corner of my eye
Where I am now concerns me
in the dark all looks ominous here
Leaves crunch underfoot
and seems to echo when I stop
Or is there something behind me
too afraid now to look back
The trees all seem to be leaning
as if reaching down for me
Like fingers stretching to find
and grasp me within their claws
Pressure on my chest controls me
can hardly breathe or even move
Red orbs appear in the dark
as branches encircle me
I now regret what I'd said
as the fingers close around my neck
The pounding in my ears turns out
to be the flapping of enormous wings
The orbs are now before me
a dank smell assaults my nose
My neck is being constricted
and terror floods my consciousness
Her friends never found out what happened
and her boyfriend will always regret
the words spoken in anger
that he'll carry with him forever
