Whisper of the Darkness
This is a story I have never ever told;
A dark memory I shall unfold.
You thought you had me fooled,
But I know my worth more than anyone should.
I could not sleep, how unfair;
For those whispers gave me nightmare.
I remembered that moment so well,
but it left me traumatized to even tell.
I thought of getting away from you.
Well, who am I kidding? I always do.
I begged you to stop.
But all you did was laugh.
I closed my eyes until I can't see.
Until darkness fully succumb me.
I closed my ears until I can't hear.
Until the silence became my fear.
I closed my mouth until I can't speak.
Without words, I became weak.
I closed my fist until I can't feel.
For I know that these hands could kill.
They mimick your voices
Until my sanity loses.
I got lost— could not find a map.
That's why I begged them to stop.
As I rolled over my bed.
Repeatedly, I hear the voices in my head.
I concluded that it was the devil,
Who's making me do things out of my will.
I received so many beacons.
I know I'm stronger than my demons.
Or so I thought.
'Cause little did I know, those demons fought.
I tried to halt my tears that sparkles like a star,
As I stop myself creating another scar.
It was the last thing that I would want to see,
But the whisper of the darkness took control of me.
