THE DARK ALLEY


nature/vintage blog

I step from the restaurant
where there had been light.
Now there is only darkness,
and no stars in sight.

I hear footsteps in the distance.
Dark shadows move and sway.
Steps echo louder in the dark.
I bow my head and pray.

I run to the light.
Then I’m falling down.
My face to the ground.
My world, upside down.

I lift my head.
Black shoes before me.
The lights go out.
Darkness now claims me.
