Tortured Soul (Formerly Untitled (open for suggestions))
Untitled (open to suggestions)
There's an eerie comfort
In the arms of Fear
When you cower
In the darkest corner
Where shadows lurk;
As you watch the growing rage
Intertwine with the long fingers
Of Terror,
Tightening
The choke-hold
Around you
Causing even
The Shadows to step back.
All the while the coldness
Keeps you frozen in place.
Eyes bulge
Tears fall
Throats begin to close.
Demons rejoice
When Fear emerges victorious
The Winner
of its own game.
Escape?
How can you show me the way
Unless;
You've been here yourself?
