Embrace

Its nightmare season
On this city street
Echoes in my ears
Pounding heart beat
Shadows loom
Head spins
Start to swoon
Running on empty
Desperately seeking
Can’t catch
That breath
Elusive air
If I manage to scream
Will anyone care?
Coins in my pocket
Nerves jangling
On the edge
Sweet sweet daylight
Chase away the demons of this night
