Each step took me, though my fear tried
to encase me in stone...hoping that a
chisel might crack that which held me,
haunted me.

Each stone, falling softly over into the
night air.  Landing unheard, unseen...
Far below this ledge of fright and terror.

Each breath, labored...stifled at times
as a step behind paused...as I paused,
my heart racing madly, my hands
trembling...my eyes closed as a prayer
crossed my tongue.

Will the night air encase me forever in
this vacuum?  Holding me steadily in
wait of the waiting blade that hovers
in the darkness behind me.   Will I
know?  Can I break from this fear that
binds my soul and lingers nigh?

I must....or once again the night shall
win and a damp fog shall smother the
cries of man....behind a closed door,
uttering a silent scream....evermore...
