Shadows
shadows
shifting on my walls
darkness thick and leaden
binding me, a prisoner
chained to my past
the pain comes to haunt my dreams again
the images flash in my mind's eye
torturing me in the night, the still dark night
that envelops me, caressing me, raping me
I am falling,
spiralling out of control
downwards into the hellfire that licks out in greeting
icy fingers of fear claw at me
I yearn to succumb to nothingness
the ghosts of
the dead and murdered
grab at my clothes and rake my flesh
the heat, the blinding light
fires of memories never buried
I ache for the cool caress of
his hand to wake me from my nightmares
but not even a whisper disturbs the darkness of my mind
for he is not here, he is not mine
I am lost forever in the hell of my making
my heart
constricts painfully, thinking of him
shrouded in the shadows shifting on my walls
like a thief in the night passing by without a glance
and my world falls to pieces once again
