Listen Within

by Loved In Hell   Apr 23, 2008


It seems that fate
Has made a way
For an old friend
To return and stay

(speak quickly)

"Ah faithful friend
How have you been?"
My voice is bitter
My face is grim

(Quiet now)

I stare silently
At her haunting face
Eyes of shadowy pits
A dark disturbing place

(A porcelain doll she is)

Her skin, pale as the moon
With hair darker than a starless night
One glance by her
Gives timeless chills, endless fright

(Don't move)

Horror stricken
Here I stand
Somehow witout control
I reach for her hand

(No, don't touch her)

A moment of warning
Just a second too late
I'm now under a spell
I have entered the dark gate

(Please fight, come back)

My head starts to spin
As stories begin to tell me
Pain, agony, horror, and suffering
Everything I feel everything I see

(Do not give in to the poison)

Sadness washes over
Hand in hand she and I go
As the ghosts of the past
Replay their words of sadness and woe

(Don't listen)

At the end of our journey
She begins to walk away
I am left alone
In tears I will pay

(Stand up)

I fall to the floor
And begin to crawl
Pieces of me scattered
Just as a torn up rag doll

(Who was she?)

My friend?
She has many names
Sorrow, loneliness, depression...
Her objections remain the same

(Why would you do this?)

Here I am
Left to die
Empty and broken
With nothing left inside

(Lost forever
To the depths of hell
I meant to help
My wishes were well)©

    My first time reading this type of style of writing
    very unqiue, as well as a smooth rhyme scheme
    nicely written 5/5
