Alone, in the darkness, I hear a voice.
It calls me to come.
It wants me to go.
I dare not listen to this voice.
It is a stranger in the alley.
The dark alley.
The dark alley filled with the fears and the tears of so many.
They followed that voice.
I shall not.
It calls me to a room.
A room with light.
Light so bright I shield my eyes.
The walls are bare;
Nothing is there.
The voice continues.
I turn to leave
But the door is closed.
I can not go back.
The voice calls my name.
I dare not follow it.
I have betrayed myself again.
Reflections of me.
Different reflections,
Everywhere around me.
The voice calls once more.
I again turn to leave
Finding I'm trapped.
I follow the voice.
Red.
Blood Red.
Pain.
Anger.
Sudden regret.
I realize my mistake for the last time.
Too late.
All has gone to darkness.
