the man of night

Man of night

 

One upon a midnight dreary while I pondered weak and weary

I came across a man of night shadow blocking out the light

Full of woe he turned to me his eyes so black he could not see

I tried to turn away in fear but darkness pulled my heart in near

He raised his arms my mind was numbing his vile blackness overcoming

I fell into his cold embrace my heart and head began to race

My eyes grew dim my light erased I became a broken soul encased

Slow I wandered into the night to seek another’s tempting light.

Haha, that sounds a lot like a poem I made a while back( haven't published it on here) called "the girl of Night" xD
This is much different though, and very well done :)
