A Haunting Whisper

A haunting whisper in the night
A memory of past delight
Is hiding somewhere out of sight
To try and fix what wasn’t right

Familiar voice it calls to me
With promises to set me free
And dreams of all that yet might be
A brighter side to destiny

And as it sang throughout the night
What hidden secrets were set free
The once was lost now came to be
Strange memories I couldn’t right

Familiar voice came over me
With all the victims of delight
Till teardrops come to ease my sight
These footsteps of my destiny

I saw the way to ease the right
It took my hand and gave me sight
Was this the price of my delight
A haunting whisper in the night
