Nightfall

Here comes another storm
The sky's colour has drained
And the light is gone
A black rain has appropriated the air

Rows and rows of empty houses
Condemned and rotting
Obscured by torrential downpour
The putrid stench of mildew fills my nostrils
A malevolent entity resides
With in each of these homes

I can feel it, growing inside of me
This has taken hold of me

Sleeping in fear tonight
I can't keep my demons out
Lock the door behind me
I won't be returning

It burns like nothing I've ever felt before
Open the door

Open the door, it's me, I swear
Just let me in, I promise I'm fine

Please let me in
I swear I won’t hurt you
Just let me in
