Hidden Dark


Deep in the dark

I hear it calling

"Join me" it says.

Deep in the depths

I hear the whispers

"Just sink" they say.

Far from the light

I hear the screams

"Just fall" he says.

Far from the start

I can't hear a thing

"Just finished this" I say.

The dark depths

Away from the light

And far from where I started

My demon's whispered lies,

Screaming insistence,

The calming voice of self C

alls out for the end

To find the beginning
