When Fear Strikes
Of Darkness and Enduring Hearts
Gone were the days
Of solace found behind four walls
Owned by moonless nights and somber skies
Days when dawn offered reprieve
Became blighted, ominous nights
Yearlong shadows covered the world
Eroding minds and hopeful hearts
Shrouded in fog and ghastly shapes
Prowling streets and shuttered homes
Outsiders roamed, unfettered and foul
Only the brave of undying spark,
Knights of the weak and broken souls
Tethered the world to its former shell
On days when fear swallowed us whole
Bloodshed flowed in dreadful floods
Eroding resolve in enduring hearts
Roping us in bleak and unending fright
