A Statue in the Night

I wandered through the halls of stone,

Where silent eyes watched every move.

I felt a chill in every bone,

As if the walls had words to prove.

I stumbled upon an iron door,

That led me to a secret room,

Where statues stood upon the floor,

Waiting for the night to bloom.

I heard a whisper in my ear,

A voice that filled my heart with dread.

"You should not be among us here,

Else soon you will be stone instead."

I tried to run but it was too late;

The statues came to life.

They dragged me to a darkened fate,

Where I became a statue in the night.
