Nightfall

Here comes another storm The sky's colour has drained, and the light is gone A black rain has appropriated the air Rows and rows of empty houses, condemned and rotting Obscured by torrential downpour, the putrid stench of mildew fills my nostrils A malevolent entity resides within each of these homes I can feel it, growing inside of me This has taken hold of me Sleeping in fear tonight, I can't keep my demons out Lock the door behind me, I won't be returning It burns like nothing I've ever felt before, Open the door Open the door, it's me, I swear Just let me in, I promise I'm fine Please let me in, I swear I won’t hurt you, just let me in
