Surrounded by Dark
Mary Mathieu
The darkness surrounds me on this Hallows Eve.
The secret within comes to be.
I am a monster in disguise
And I rise amid all the lies.
Along with the others on this day,
I no longer decay,
But instead plan to stay.
I am part of the curse I planned.
It is one that will plague the land,
The land that will no longer stand.
It is now a world that is completely dark.
One where the monsters lark.
We must hark,
Hark to that dreadful sound that is all around.
We become drowned,
Drowned in the dominant darkness.
