Possessed



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

  1. Some claim we create our own nemesis's. And expect us to fully recover...
    I 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!"
