Coal

She hears footsteps down the hall

But no one else is home

She holds her breath, she cannot move

She feels so alone



She hears the footsteps

One by one

Like gun shots from a gun



He's comming near

Her death she fears

Is just around the bend



He's comming near

Her life she fears

Is comming to an end



He is here

With no one near

No one to hear her cries



Standing here face to face

He's looking in her eyes



Through his eyes

She see's his mind

The doorway to his soul



But it's not him

It's her she see's

In eyes as black as coal
