Clandestine Whispers


It’s crawling inside me somewhere,
Stealing the tranquility of my existence,
Singing with a dead voice
In the pitch dark of the night.

It loves me with a bondage flare
And somehow knows me inside out.
The church bell chimes like death to me
When it hisses like a hell born knight.

It’s quiet in some eerie corner here
Waiting to put me into sleep,
I never saw it coming near
But it’s already deep inside of me.

Freezing chill, its sadistic cheer
Breathing into my broken soul;
Not content, it craves for more
It’s her; wish she would set me free.

Sarcasm plays; her words like fire
Oh Guilt, why hold me so dear!
But I sailed triumphant through anguished dawns
Now she won’t let me rejoice or be alone.

  5. Hey, Hi
    i read it the day you posted, and read it again. read it a few more times...but could never leave a comment, only because, it was yet to sink in...

    It hurts, it pains...it feels like a burden it feels like chains...your words, made me feel all of it.

    Keep writing..
