The Chase

A shadow in the night, a figure in the dark

A presence on my tail, like a vicious hungry shark

My heart begins to race, my breath begins to quicken

I turn to face my fate, as my bones begin to thicken

The chase is on, the hunt is real

My mind is racing, trying to think, trying to feel

The darkness is suffocating, the silence is deafening

I can feel the predator's presence, his eyes are menacing

My legs are heavy, my feet are leaden

But I cannot stop, I must keep moving or I'll be dead then

The chase goes on, through alleyways and streets

I can hear my heart beating, the sound of my own heartbeats

I know he's getting closer, I can feel his breath on my neck

I try to push through, try to keep going, try to keep my head in check

My breath is shallow, my eyes wide with fear

But I cannot stop now, the end is drawing near

And then I see it, the light at the end of the tunnel

My feet push harder, I run with all my muscle

I burst out of the darkness, into the light

I turn to face my predator, ready to fight

But he's nowhere to be seen, he's vanished without a trace

And so the chase is over, the hunter's in his place.
