In the city's heart, where shadows play,
A tale unfolds in the light of day.
Concrete alleys and neon glow,
Whispers of horror that few may know.
Beneath the surface of hurried steps,
A chilling secret, the city begets.
In every office and crowded train,
Lies a touch of horror, a silent bane.
The businessman, with a polished smile,
Hides a darkness, a sinister guile.
His heart, a chamber of cold disdain,
A puppet master in a suit's domain.
In the crowded streets where lovers meet,
A presence lingers, discreetly sweet.
But love betrayed and hearts deceived,
Awakens horrors, yet to be perceived.
The mother, tired, her patience thin,
In the mirror, a twisted grin.
Behind closed doors, where no eyes pry,
A horror festers, refusing to die.
Late at night, when the world's asleep,
A homeless soul in shadows creeps.
Beneath the bridges, where nightmares dwell,
A human horror, a silent spell.
In the tavern's haze, a drunkard's cheer,
A ghastly truth draws ever near.
The bottle's refuge, a fleeting peace,
Yet the horror within will never cease.
A child's laughter in the playground's glee,
Yet, in the dark, what specters flee?
A nursery rhyme, a lullaby,
Harbingers of a horror nigh.
These human horrors wear no mask,
In everyday life, a daunting task.
Realistic nightmares, close at hand,
In the city's heart, where shadows stand.
So, as you walk through streets unknown,
Remember, horror isn't overthrown.
In the human heart, shadows cast,
A chilling tale that will forever last.
