The Hounds of Hell

I walk alone

along a midnight beach

with none but the stars as my friends

I walk alone

Into tomorrow’s world

with no one my soul to defend

 

As the stars disappear into the blackened sky

the hounds of hell come out to play

they stealthily move in on my tortured soul

seems I have become their prey

 

They hunt me down with such skill and ease

they rip my heart to shreds

tear into my soul piece by piece

until there really isn’t much left

 

Then with a gleeful snicker

and the howl of the kill

they run as one into the dark of the night

boasting of the destruction that they have caused

to one so innocent and full of the light

"I walk alone

I love that these hounds can be perceived as so many things, negative emotions, ruthless attacks by cynical beings. I love your creativeness you've used to described how someone who is so simple and calm can fall prey to attack.
Great write. 100/100
