Running down the lovely hall
Trying to escape the darkness,
As the dark night starts to fall.
My heart stops, as I hit the dead end,
Closing my eyes and pinches my skin,
Hoping that all of this is just pretend.
In the darkness, I hear the demons of the night come near,
I take a big gulp and tighten my fist,
Feeling my body shake, as my mind fills with fear.
I felt a cold hard hand on my shoulder
I whispered "Goodbye" as I knew my life was now over.

Favorite Quote:
“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.

When it is over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.

I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”
