When Shadows Overcome Me

Like a shark devours it’s prey ,
Like a snake swallows it’s food,
In the shadows I lay,
For sorrow I am doomed ,
When day turns to night,
The moon becomes alive,
As the air catches flame,
My shadows arrive,
On the floor as I walk ,
A demon grasps my feet,
Before me is a reflection ,
That only light can beat,
Like a guardian’s protection,
It follows never letting go,
It over comes me with fear,
But no teeth show.
