Hear The Whispers

A collaboration with Sean M. Addams

 

Deep within the dark shadowy forest

Hear the whispers

Voices calling my name

Hear the whispers

I shiver with an aching pain

An icy breeze brushes over me

Feeling like fingers of the dead

Touching me

I want to scream

Hear the whispers

Something’s pulling me forward

I’m helpless to resist

I find myself entering this dark haunted place

Hear the whispers

They sound so frightening, so horrid

Haunting eyes staring into my crying soul

Even the trees reach out and seem alive

Claw like branches almost pierce my rapidly beating heart

A wind howls and speaks to me sending chilling bumps up my spine

The forest becomes alive and I’m its prey running for my life

Death is in the breeze wrapping it’s shadowy hands around my neck

My body bleeds and droplets of red begin to paint the ground

Evil seems all around making me feel like Mother Nature has lost her mind

Even my feet begin to ache as the leafy ground tries to swallow me whole

The dark shadowy forest must be possessed slashing away at my skin

Even once upon a time when God’s peaceful creations roamed Earth the devil laughed

Adding his forceful demons lurking behind the apple trees

The curse of Eve still bleeds after centuries upon this land

Deep within the dark shadowy forest

Is someplace I should have never have roamed

The nightmarish horror here is killing me

I flee, fighting the grasping sucking openings in the ground

These gaping mouths so desperate to consume me

Instead of my body let them suck inside leaf debris and soil

I pray for God to rescue me from the Devil

I bleed as Satan laughs, calling me Eve

Hear the whispers

Deep within the dark shadowy forest

No! No! I am not Eve!

No! I say No! I don’t want to hear these sounds of evil

These awful hideous seductive whispers of terror

They call to me, wrapping about me

Trying to stop my escape

Hear the whispers

I keep running as I feel my heart and soul burning in agony

I must escape

I hear Satan calling me, calling me Eve

Calling me to come to him

A horrible screaming laugh

Comes rushing up behind me

As I continue trying to find my way back to freedom

I hurt so badly I can hardly breathe

At last I stumble from the forest

Am I free? Am I really free?

I hear the howling of defeat

Radiating out of the shadowy dark forest

I am alive! I can breathe!

I still own my heart and soul

Crying in relief I walk away from this horror

Weak and shaky from my awful experience

Hear the whispers

Not any more

I fought the ultimate darkness and I won

Hear the whispers

Deep within the dark shadowy forest

Only in my nightmarish dreams

They seem so real

 I too often wake up right in the middle of a scream
