darkness

written October 31, 1995

In the World of Make-Believe
where nothing is ever real
I find you in the shadows
searchign for a soul to steal.

You cannot recognize me
behind this mask and colored hair
but you know I am afraid
because of my frozen stare.

Behind my black facade
is where you long to be
to look deep within my soul
to find the heart of me.

No luck you have in seeing through
the disguise so many have seen
but you will never give up trying
because tonight is Halloween.
