warm and bright i think you could find better words to describe a fire.
welcome me i see a fire welcoming
from dark of night
The path before me
now seems clear
and with the clarity this line seems redundant.
comes great fear
The monsters
they have been revealed don't need 'they'.
it seems that my fate
is now sealed
Perhaps a battle
will breakout space between 'break' and 'out'.
he'll break my leg
I'll swipe his snout not human, huh?
Perhaps quick death
will be my fate
quite gory
he won't hesitate these last two lines are like stranded islands... no connection to the other lines.
I'm bathed in fear
I'm numb with fright
The end is near
I see the light minor nitpick but the rhyme scheme in this stanza is different from all the rest.
And damn you light
you've caused this all
your luring draw
has been my fall
best of luck if you intend to edit
hope this helps, if only slightly.
like you've been shot (bang bang bang)
