Sitting on my couch alone some time after 3 am, I start to hear them whispering in my ear once again.
I try hard to just not listen because it is a haunting sound, I start to get paranoid while I slowly turn around.
I swear that I just saw a shadow hiding in the dark, to my surprise I hear the familiar sound of my dog he starts to bark.
Chills run up my spine I know that they are closing in, I shudder at the memories I have of them crawling up my skin.
My body freezes up I can not move my eyes dart side to side, my instincts tell me to run.. to get the hell out of there but all that I can do is sit alone in the dark and stare.
They are coming after my soul in the darkness I can not hide, I start praying to God and slowly shut my eyes.
They are trying to close in on me but they can not approach because my heart is shining bright, like a miracle they have to back away from me... in the distance there is a glowing light.

Very engaging and symbolic! It shows both the darkness and light and that light prevails over dark just as God prevails over evil! Great structure and style!
Thank you very much for taking the time to read, and thanks for your kind comment.
I’m with Judy on this, love the rhythm and the rhyming, superb!
I thank you also for taking the time to read and comment.
A very meaningful and well written poem. In that battle between darkness and light, light will always prevail. Because darkness isn't the opposite of light, it's merely its absence.
yea, exactly well said and thank you for taking the time to read
