Mind gripping for sanity as the Voices begin
Eyes wide searchin the darkness while the room starts to spin.
As the walls close in around me it gets harder to breath
Pain in my chest cause my shoulders to shake and heave
Agony seizes as time freezes
The face appears in the night
Blood pours as I hold my pillow tight
It takes no form only a vivid memory of fear
The Voice begins calling my darling and dear
That Voice holds only guilt and sorrow
Its the one I heard yesterday and will tomorrow
"O God!" is the only cry I can silently scream
During the daylight all is not how it seems
In the darkness I huddle in a corner of the room
In the night the horrid memories consume
No matter how hard I fight
I begin to loose my sanities sight
I am there again in that foreign land
With a stranger gripping my hand
New tears fall on my face
Pulling me back in haste
Into another nightmare
Of when I tried to care
Of that night not remembered
When I told my One I was sorry I hindered
Eyes peered into mine trying to find
Searching for some love for something true
As if he knew it was something I knew
"He died, D" he shuddered
So now his life is all cluttered
I gave him what I had
But I knew what he really needed was Dad
That was not the end
The Voice takes me back
Again to where life begin to slack
In front of me my hero stood
I knew all was not well and good
Heros are not to fall
Yet that is just what I saw
"When will this end!!?"
Who will take this heart and mend?
Already my pillow is wet in tears
As the Voice shows me all my fears
Twisting my mind goes into a spin
The Darkness is going to win......
A Whisper sounds
I close my eyes tights as the Voice still pounds
Again there is the Whisper speaking
I realize I may not be sinking
The sun starts to rise
As the Voice dies.
