Essence Of A Dark Soul

Silence

Whispers in my soul, sounds of
Familiar voices, echoes of
A past long lost and almost …

I hear them call my names,
Shouts and screams;
I place my hands over my ears.
Why can’t I block them out?

Never ending and ever louder.
Pain, anger, violence; each
emotion burst with its own
colour behind my eyes.

Blacks, crimsons, gold and …
I close my eyes tight, ‘Go away!’
I scream.
The images won’t leave me alone.
The voices are getting louder.

Eyes blood shot, hair a mess,
hands shaky, mouth dry.
No sleep, no peace, no one to help me
or to understand.

I sit in the corner, knees bent,
Shivering and crying.
Face red, sleeves wet and nose runny.

I can’t put up with them any more.
I need it to end, to finish,
for this to be over.
Times for the pain and noises to finally be …
Silent.
