A soft gentle whisper
a spectre of the long night.
Only the dead
can hear me now.
Caught up in this endless limbo
a meaningless dance
with every step
every breathe taken
I come ever closer to this purgatory.
She spins faster now
this haunted carousel
round and round
she goes
her devil horses watch me
daring me
come aboard they say
ride this carousel.

What prompt did you use? You were supposed to put that. But I'll judge on personal oppinion. Honestly. I love love love this. So much. I think that you use good imagery and the chaos of it fits perfectly. Finalist.
