The Void

The Void

Jul 11

Written By Daniel Peiffer

Swapping between planes of existence

Blurred lines of reality

I can see ghosts all around me

I can feel the warmth of Hell,

It's the most at home I've ever felt

I can see my shadow inside the hallway,

But I've been inside my room all day

There's a figure in my doorway

He keeps me safe,

But at everyone else's expense

I need to cut my family ties,

Because I know they won't survive

Whispers slither inside my ear,

Without fail they always drive me to tears

Why are these monsters watching me?

Sitting in the corner, not saying a word

I'm not crazy

My guilt carries a scythe,

And it floats along my life

Where am I?

Everything is dark

I've no idea when I'll be back

Why is the devil looking at me like that?

He looks so familiar

Why must you visit?

You are not welcome

A descent into madness

Coated with a smile and an accent

Happiness is foreign to me

The constant ticking does not bother me

Is possession real?

The leaves are turning grey

My thoughts are running out of shade

Destroy the device,

To the numb this will suffice

The spider unravels her web,

And inside I lie dead

Save me

The smoke never rises

Masquerading in masks as disguises

There's no reflection in my eyes

My heartbeat has started fading

I need to stop looking back,

But WHY is the devil looking at me like THAT?

His gaze stings

He holds a strong musk,

Accompanied by horned tusks

Running circles in a pentagram

Silence.

Who's in the window?

There's blood on the walls

It's not mine,

They're broken signs

Dip my toes in the swamp some more
