Comfort In The Dark
http://fubar.com/comfort-in-the-dark/b46422-238496

As you walk the roads at night,
I follow always just out of sight.
And sometimes you may feel me near,
My footsteps in your mind you hear.
I see you, tense, stop and stare,
I hear you wondering who is there.
Deep in the dark of the night you search,
But your mortal eyes cannot see my perch.
A flash of light within the dark,
You feel fear come into your heart.
And you flee to the places of human sin,
Where footsteps are lost in the crawling din.
Encased in the moving crowd,
You feel safe and you feel proud.
Until you notice them all leer,
Their actions encouraged by the smell of your fear.
They pull you into the night by your hair,
Your clothes they rip and violently tear.
Those Strangers ignore your cries of distress,
You are surrounded by enemies in the darkness.
But this darkness is my home,
And through it I do freely roam.
Those strangers now scream and try to fight,
But they are no match for a true child of the night.
Soothing words I whisper like a lover in your ear,
Until the dawn of the new day makes me disappear.
And I murmur with my last kiss and caress
That you will always safe within my darkness...
