In the middle of the night

Nothing moved

Could have heard a slither

Quiet enough to make you quiver

Maybe it will be like this forever

To scared to perform any sort of endeavour

Perhaps being alone out here wasn't so clever

Probably should have never

So still

Can see nothing

Hear emptiness

Piercing remoteness

Unusually black

Afraid that something could attack

Definitely don't look back

Could be something hiding

Possibly violent

It was deadly silent
