Living In the Shadow of His Lies
I scream,
but no sound
Trapped inside of my mind
This person is not me
This is a shell of someone I used to be
The emptyness of lonleyness,
My fear,
disquised as a friend.
A long forgotten friend,
I prayed would never return
The darkness has come to destroy me,
here to try again
I want to breakfree, to run and hide
I struggle against the forces of darkness,
only to find myself falling backwords,
into the hands of the enemy
I walk behind him,
living in the shadow of his lies
THE voice inside my mind says,
YES!
I allow myself to fall into the familiar hands of
emptyness
The abyss of nothingness,
wraps its wrath around me
and beckons me home.
