Phantoms In The Dark

The shadows whisper.
Someone breathes down my neck.
A ghost lurks in the dark.
Skeletons stir in the closet.
Something inside me has woken.
A voice speaks in my head.
Phantoms haunt my dreams.
They don’t leave when I’m awake.
They always walk beside me,
But leave no footprints in their wake.
They are angry, for the unfairness.
They are selfish, for survival.
Caressed by the devil,
And hunted by the angels.
Life as a punishment,
For the unforgivable crime
Of my existence.
Emotions out of control,
Temptations forgotten,
Wishes and fantasies lost,
Hopes long dead…..
