Within

Trapped inside...
cannot speak...
like a hostage...
vulnerable and weak...

silent screams...
breath so deep...  
pray for release...
in an unconscious sleep...

the depth of pain...
lies dormant and caged...
matter of time...
before fully enraged...

silent whispers...
circling its prey...
carefully rehearsing...
it must have its way..

it feeds on weakness...  
it wants you to break...
a friend in you...
it will attempt to make...

master of deception...  
make no mistake ...
all its attention...  
now focused on you...

somewhat familiar...
like deja vu...
it spins your thoughts... 
distorting your view...

left with the memory...
of a person you once knew...
