A Shimmer in the Night
A movement in the distance
Shadows in the corner of the eye
You see them
But they aren’t there
They come to you from beyond
Slipping through the night
Calling to you in silence
Whispers in the dark
You reach out for them
They shy from your touch
Recoiling in fear
Your intent to them is unclear
You only have questions
Why are they here
Why do they linger
When the door is so near
It stands just out of sight
A shimmering passage
An end to the wandering
The doorway to salvation
They have always been close
Since that fateful day
When you came close to joining them
On their nightly foray
They only seem to watch
Few will come close
Their whispering is like the wind
They know you can see
Few will understand
What you can see
So you tell no one
Their journeys are safe with you
Evanescence - "Haunted"
Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you, loving you
I won't let you pull me down
Hunting you, I can smell you - alive
Your heart pounding in my head
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me, raping me, watching me
Watching me, wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you... loving you
I won't let you pull me down
FTC! This is very spooky. Perfect so close to Halloween.
