The Whispering Void

"The Whispering Void"

I see you in the dark, I do,

Behind the walls, beneath the blue.

Your breath is cold, your pulse is thin,

Come closer now... let me in.

The voices hum, they slither tight,

They curl around me every night.

Soft and wet, they scratch, they bite,

A lullaby of endless fright.

The mirror cracks, the blood runs black,

I smile, I wait, you won’t come back.

Your heartbeat stutters, skips, then dies,

I pluck the truth from hollow lies.

The walls are watching, don’t you know?

They see your steps, they watch you go.

But doors don’t open, floors don’t creak,

And something waits beneath your feet.

The silence hums a wicked tune,

Like dead things buried under moon.

You shiver soft, you turn, you run,

But nowhere’s safe, I’ve just begun.

My shadow’s long, my hunger deep,

I watch you fall, I hear you weep.

Your name dissolves, your bones decay,

And in the dark... I love to play.
