Analysis of Noir
In the midst of night
A shadow stands alone
In the back of your mind,
It always lingers
And haunts almost
Every one of your kind.
As your eyes grow weary, and the
Lights die out, your shadow begins
To creep all about. It
Whispers its name into your
Slumbering ears
And brings to life your greatest of fears.
