Forevermore

Alone under the cover of darkness I hear the scratchings of evil Trying to tear its way in my window Scrabbles and screeches grate on my nerves Setting my teeth on edge I lay alone shivering and shaking Imploring higher powers to protect me Save me and set my soul free The sound gets louder and more furious Accompanied with a keen wailing I hear a deep moaning that gives me chills And realize it is coming from me I close my eyes and pray harder I feel ignored and so alone Sensing I have been deserted In my darkest hour I resign myself to be overcome By the evil that slowly eats its way in Waiting with trepidation For the pain that is sure to come My soul cries with desperation For an angel to make an appearance Torn between hope and hopelessness Fighting within myself to keep My glimpse of hope alive And hold the evil at bay Waging a war that has an uncertain outcome From behind clenched eyes I sense A presence in the room with me Afraid to open them and glance To see whether evil has won Or my angel has finally arrived Quaking with hopeful fear I open my tear filled eyes Sweeping the black room And weep with the implications That I am truly alone forevermore........
