Whispers in the Darkness

Shadows whisper in the blackened air,

Silent screams that nobody hears,

Flickering faint, faint glimmer of hope,

But even hope dissolves in fear.

Walking through the endless night,

Footsteps echo pain and plight,

Every shadow morphs and twists,

Lost beneath the moon’s cold kisses.

Praying softly, tears fall like rain,

Hoping this nightmare doesn’t claim my name,

Heartbeat pounding like a drum,

Will I survive what’s come?

Drown in darkness, hear the footsteps near,

Feeling cold and trembling with fear,

Praying to the stars above,

Don’t let death claim my love.

Eyes seek a flicker of light,

But darkness swallows what’s bright,

Every whisper, every breath,

Feels like a step towards death.

Echoes dance within my mind,

Fighting ghosts I cannot find,

Voice a plea in trembling tone,

“Please, not now, I’m not alone.”

Drown in darkness, hear the footsteps near,

Feeling cold and trembling with fear,

Praying to the stars above,

Don’t let death claim my love.

Shadows stretch like shadows of dread,

Circled by the night’s silent dead,

Haunted by what lurks unseen,

Fighting to stay in this waking dream.

Footsteps fade but fear remains,

Darkness whispers my name in chains,

Final breath, a silent cry,

As death’s shadow draws nigh.

Now I see it—Death’s grim face,

Coming closer, no escape,

Final prayer, a last goodbye,

In the darkness, I will die.
