Over my shoulder
My chills got colder
Neck hairs on the rise
I’ll face my demise
I turn to face them
Street lights fade and dim
Twilight fading fast
Anchored, fade at last
Formulate a plan
Face me shadow man
Is this illusion
Or my dilusion?
Whispers in my ear
So loud but can’t hear
Race inside the house
Family aroused
Quick, close the curtains
I can’t be certain
But the shadows lurk
Whispers, my ears perk
He is near, there, here
I fumble and swear
Weapon in my hand
I’ll make my last stand
My resolve won’t give
Come dawn, one will live
