Trick or Treat
Trick or treat
My little pretties
Gather around
We’ll share some ditties
As the moon light shines above
If you look you might find love
Etched among the lines
Carved by pain and time
Whittled as if a mask
Look closely you might run fast
But in the darkened night
You would run and scream in fright
Alas
For what will never be shown
More frightful then all known
What will never be seen
You will not find in dreams
What under the moonlit night
Is shadowed in plain sight
What you run from is yourself
You are running from the light
You are running out of time
These lines not only mine
The years have played with you
The one I see right through
The fire ambers hot
Sparkling in the night
I find myself alone
Alone
