A hungry pariah

 I was abandoned by my followers
my family, friends and above all now I'm Godless
When i looked up and prayed knowing myself less
A reply came down telling me to embrace lonliness

So I made my home in a deep cave
and learned to see in the darkness

I the pale creature the human hunting gecco
deep inside shouting out just to hear my echo
through the corridors and chambers insanely
searching for ears and invisible frame

I pale, each passing day, thin and mean
moths and spiders are just not enough protein
Inside here the quiet lulls me to sleep
Entry intruders open the peepers

I imitate their voices to distort their echoes
triggering their curiosity ushering them further in
a passage too far and it's right into the dark dim
There is no day and no night

edged into panic your whole crew
Must be a way more you can do
go deeper go further shout help
you may find your way out

the lamps slowly go out just as you see a quick shadow
something walks behind the stalagmite a low howl
No sermon or chase suspense, no razor sharp claw
just a hungry pariah here to eat you raw
