Twilight

In the twilight of the night

I lay in wait

For the one to set me free

I do not see the winged creature

As it swoops and dives

But something's wrong

There's a rustling in the bushes

Just behind me now

I do not see him

Only feel him

It is not the one I wait for but the one I am hiding from

I gasp, I try to scream

But his big, thick hand covers my mouth

The knife is there in an instant

In my back, stealing my life

I start to fade

Never again to wake
