What am I?

by Lioness   Feb 5, 2012


I am the coldness in your quivering skin
there when you get left behind
The silence in your twisted tongue
The darkness when you're walking blind

I am the shadow hidden beneath your feet
chasing you in your dreams
I am the strange echo that shudders your throat
every time that you try to scream

I am evil voice that prowls your mind
searching for your weakest part
You think of it as a disturbing image
while I think of it as pure art

I am the loneliness that keeps you awake
in the middle of that blackened night
I am the wrong choice made in your life
when you believe that your choice was right

I thrive to paralyse your movements
make you anxious about what you hold dear
I will evermore be here 'til the end
Yes, darling, I am your worst fear

    I am in love with this piece.
    I am in awe how you wrote something new, I think... with the rhymes and the subtle ones.

    Sorry for taking this long to comment, I saved this for other time ;)

    Liz, girl you rock, and the Kite Runner (the worst fear, in the end) within you is extraordinary.

    That thing on the edge of our thoughts. It's always there, that fear lurking beneath the surface, waiting to be exploited by something in our life. Awesome use of words. words and music.

    Was pretty sure that this poem either described the Devil or your worst nightmare
    don't ask me why, anyways amazingly pinned, you've wrote down some Very dark ideas yet they are all true, feel them all at a certain time
