The Whisper


Lying here awake in a dream with nothing but me and the dark a whisper crawls towards me in swift breaths it speaks making my skin ripple The thoughts it brings me with fear and remorce creeping through my veins though ive done wrong My sins it holds the crimes i've commited all in the palm of its hand ready to reveal what i've done As it breaths again the dark engolfs me seaping deep into my pores soaking my skin Grasping at my soul stealing what is mine ripping into what i have left till theres nothing but a bloody carcus The whisper tells me of you it gnaws at my emotions screaming that i caused this feeding me lies that i believe you caused everything here your own guilt and agony the scars that you bare caused from your mistakes Corrupting everything around you forcing people to believe in your lies coaxing them into your ready trap scaring the ones who step into it It breaths to me more lies feeding off what fear i have left forcing me to believe what ive done stealing what sanity i still have loseing strenght to fight my eyes close to find comfort only to feel the whisper against my cheek letting me know theres no help Its deathly grip wont release me it breath grows sharper the darkness gets colder and i grow weaker thoughts of being lost in the dark the thought of never leaving of never finding comfort start flooding my head The howl of the whisper grows louder my body aches as the darkness hardens my head filled with fears slowly a tear falls my eyes open my cheeks are stained i sit up and realize It was only a dream.
