Whispers in the dark,
Lies woven tight…smothering…choking…
Truth caged behind clinched teeth,
An empty soul trapped in a warped world of silence.
Drowning in an ocean of loneliness…
Standing at the edge of a vast aperture, deep and dark with want…
Memories and dreams linger, casting a shadow that covers reality.
An evil tyrant clutching the key to my Pandora’s Box, holding my heart against my will.
Crushing my hope,
Toying with my pain,
Loving my blindly,
Twisting my perceptions.
A life in bondage with a selfish king.
Perching on a pedestal to show me my place,
Forever beneath him,
Forever entombed in an unwanted, undeserved grave.
Forever gone…
