Shadows Poem by Luna Moon

Shadows



Shadows on my wall creep like spiders,
Black and unfriendly in their shape.
They crawl down my wall and slip beneath my covers,
Then inch under my skin with fangs of fury.
I feel them wriggle inside my veins,
And bite and snap and my tendons and nerves.
Tweaking in agony,
Too scared to scream,
As my shadows infest me, confess me, digest me,
From inside out.
Every night they cloak themselves,
And wait for me to surrender to my fears.
They feed off me,
Like crude little insects with a thirst for blood.
Never satisfied, my shadows get the better of me,
And eat me like ravenous spiders of fear.
