Icy fingers caress my veins

While overhead, the moon wanes

The sky reflects an eerie glow

Observing me in sheets of snow

A flick of movement through the trees

Makes every bone in my body freeze

The realisation that I’m not alone

Holds an ominous, sinistrous undertone

My body won’t move, resisting the urge

My blood runs cold as They emerge

Within seconds I’m coming undone

Marking a battle that can’t be won
