You Have Stayed Too Long


You have stayed too long
They are coming
You hear noisess from outside
The door won't hold forever
You have stayed too long
They are almost here
You check the windows
The glass won't offer and resistance
You have stayed too long
They are here
You hold your breathe
The night has just begun
You have stayed too long
They are at the door
You search for an alternative
The wood begins to break
You have stayed too long
They are in the same room
You try to flee
The night engulfs you
Your stay has ended
