Stares in the Darkest Night...............

I hear whispers 
In the darkness 
They beckon me 
They threaten me 
My mind is a puzzle that has no end 

Cool fingertips 
Empty embraces 
I feel alone 
In my own home 
I'm too afraid of the visions in my head 

Young innocence 
Naivety 
I cannot speak 
Of memories 
I have this wound that will never mend 

I'm breaking down 
Insanity 
I cry aloud 
But there's no sound 
I'll just calm myself and lay to bed
