Transformation

On this dark, fearful night
clogged with shadows of death,
he preys upon me
to kiss my last breath.

He laughs at my struggles
as I attempt to flee
while he draws nearer.
I beg for mercy.

Dear God, help me escape
this creature of the night,
this monstrous being
whom, alone, I cannot fight!

I stumble and fall,
upon the cold, damp ground.
Unable to move.
My screams lacking sound.

He’s upon me now
The moonlight grows dim.
succumbing to his darkness
I become one of them!
