pitch black back

i keep looking back

but my feet bring me forward

there is nothing behind me

there's just dead silence

up in the streets of nothingness

i keep on moving, but

my head can't seem to obey my heart

wanting to look back and evaluate

in the dead silence behind me

i still feel something stalking

waiting

and ready to pounce

whenever the opportunity presents itself

i keep bringing my feet forward

yet my body is still

and i'm glancing an inch to the pitch black back

to find nothing

and here i am still

looking back

and waiting

for the pitch black back

to consume me whole

on and on
