Chained in the Dark

Alone in the dark,
dark twists and turns,
halls and rooms.
Rooms overflowing with junk.
Old dusty toys lie here,
broken mirror there.
Someone steps.
You chase, they run.
Gone.
Strains of a song,
stirring, wrong.
Moan in the deep,
cannot see.
Cannot leave, locked.
The dark knows.
The dark is power.
Careful, careful, step-
Run.
Run.
Run, scared little rabbit.
Run from what you truly fear...
It isn't what you see.
It isn't what you hear.
It is what you know...
You cannot leave.
Trapped. Alone.
In the dark.
Strains of the song...
Run.
Run.
Run.
Chained. Locked. Trapped.
Be afraid.

...Chained...
