I shout at you
and then I cry
guilt down my cheeks
the wet trail lies
like bones of paper
I crumble by
they call me evil
I now know why
voices down my throat
stay choked and locked
the goodness in me
is now being stalked
I am possessed
and vilely caressed
by demonic spells
that leave me wounded
and bleeding pale
blame me not
'cause I am ashamed
losing my control
sounds so lame
but love, this is true
I can't recall my name
letting go of senses
breaking the fences
the monster has me tamed
I scream an echo
and let out a whisper
in hollow recesses
where even light shudders
engulfed by the dark
I am its fodder
the peace now escapes
further, farther

Some claim we create our own nemesis's. And expect us to fully recover...
ReplyDeleteI think of that line from the old radio show...
The Shadow radio program "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows!"
