She rolls over in her bed
In a dreamless sleep
Haunted by the darkness
That once again fights to consume her
The sheets constricting around her
Confines of her own making
The presence of darkness enters her room
The air freezing about it
As it stalks towards her
Taunting its next victim
While she lay unknowing on her bed
The cruel smirk of death appears from the shadows
As millions of eyes look on from nowhere
Staring daggers at the figure breathing softly
Oblivious to all
Moonlight shines upon her face
Illuminating the path she unconsciously walks
Though it is in vain
She’s far too lost now for hope of rescue
Darkness presses in on all sides
A frown mars her features
Noticing too late the danger
As the darkness enshrouds her forever

~~Poetry is written emotion~~

I liked it a lot. It was touching. the ending especially. I loved how she realised she was lost but that its far too late! Keep up the good work!

The only critisism i could give is on the flow. I felt as if it was perhaps a bit forced in some places. Though this may only be me...

A sign in  the wind
ringed by the falling petals
Alone
Amongst black roses

I like the million eyes and where it comes in the poem after already setting up a chilling feeling.

As for a critique, I think you could cut it down a bit, keep the best parts, and still have an effective, yet more concise poem
