Poetry

Thunderous voices echo
crashing down my mistakes
exposing stinging eyes
reverberating under the radar
no one can know
beneath the static
this thing hides
burrowed in my bones
the pitch deafening, defining
unwavering in its demands
can't run past its keening
stealing my breath away
pulling hair and scraping nails
trying to get down to the core
refresh the wave of red nectar
don't stop until the voice stills
until the screams decease
grating my senses
giving me life as it takes me away
the silence suddenly roars in my mouth
get a grip
take control
shove the monster deeper still
cloud it with the soul
ensconce the aberration in gauze
mask the contents in sleeves
pretend it all away
you didn't just loose yourself
the thing didn't override
remain the same face
trail the same path
falsify the damage
murmur the abandoned promise
hold it at bay for as long as it will last
string along the lies until its a truth hidden within
