Whispers in the Shadows

A dark poem that may be used for a song for my nephew's band.

Whispers in the Shadows

In the depths where the night creeps,
Lost souls wander, their silence weeps.
Underneath the pale moon's gaze,
Echoes linger in the smoky haze.

A chilling breeze, it calls my name,
A dance with shadows, a twisted game.
With every heartbeat, the darkness grows,
In this haunted realm, anything goes.

Whispers in the shadows, calling me near,
Secrets of the night, wrapped in fear.
Lost in the echoes, where the black roses bloom,
I’m drawn to the darkness, I’m lost in the gloom.
Whispers in the shadows, calling me near,
Secrets of the night, wrapped in fear.

Footsteps linger on this empty street,
As the clock strikes twelve, my heart skips a beat.
A phantom's laughter, a flicker of light,
Guides me deeper into the night.

A haunting melody floats through the air,
A siren's song that leads to despair.
With every rhythm, I feel it grow,
In this eerie dance, I’ve nowhere to go.

The stars are fading, swallowed by night,
A tapestry woven of darkness and light.
With every step, I lose control,
Dancing with demons that haunt my soul.



As the dawn breaks, the shadows retreat,
But the whispers linger, bittersweet.
In the silence that follows, a truth I will find,
In the whispers of shadows, I'm forever entwined.
