Whispers in the night

by Beautiful Tragedy   Sep 29, 2014


I lie quietly in bed, thinking to myself,
tears running down my cheeks, whispers in the night.
I fight for something i cannot have,
my shattered heart-breaking even more.
My thoughts are the whispers in the night.
I fight for breath but... the air is suffocating,
I'm the worst mistake ever made,
beautiful in.. ways but dark and dreadful on the inside,
The devil's words whisper to me in the night.
My dreaded life is one I can't stand much longer,
I'm trying to stay awake but the pain is getting stronger,
and i am tempted; oh so tempted,
To let myself flow away with the whispers in the night.
