The Unknown


In the deeper and darker places of your mind
You can find it

Its eyes glowing red as a rose looking deep into your soul

Hallucinating. Maybe. Am I going crazy? Don't know yet

It will search in your heart for the place where pain has left a hole

Seeking to bring out all of the obscure secrets you may know

Do I let it take control…

 

I feel it's stare everywhere but it's only darkness and quiet

It roams in the back waiting to be unveiled to take its toll

To reveal how you feel and the mistakes you made you denied it

The thought of it makes your skin shiver and mouth quiver .Black hole.

Closing in on me and I can't restrain it. It breaks my soul

I feel...it is in control
