the lone walker

The walker

A shadow in the night,

A figure seen only in the corner of your eye,

And only when you are truly tired,

When you notice it and turn,

It is already gone.

You were sure you saw something,

But then again,

You probably imagined it,

But,

Truth be told,

Your sure you saw it before,

When trying to sleep,

Waking up,

Unable to move,

It was hard to breath,

Your eyes darted around,

Till you saw it,

Silent and still,

Staring,

Staring at you,

Piercing your soul,

Then as it always seemed to do,

It walked away,

Leaving you,

Wondering,

Pondering,

Who is the lone walker?
