The whispers behind my back.

Spreading secrets about that....

Whispers that come in the night

Often carry further

Than those in the day

That’s why I wield a flashlight

To turn the light off

Form barricades

Of pillows

Double-check

That that pile of clothes

Isn’t a body

Or an intruder

That no one else

Lies in my bed

That’s why

I sleep on my side

Less open

Less vulnerable

Than on my back

Like a

Helpless

Little

Turtle

Against

A

Predator

That’s why I scan

Whispers that come in the night

often carry further than those in the day.

Thoughts that can filll me with fright

often pervade my soul causing dismay.

Feelings that encompass my brain like gaslight

often skews my thoughts into disarray.

daylight brings hope

daylight brings new

daylight brings daylight

and the whispers go away...

whispers that come in the night often carry further than those in the day

for the moon guides the secrets too dark to be seen in light...

Whispers that come in the night often carry further than those in the day.

They’ll whisper to each other in the shadows, eyes flickering in the moon’s midnight light.

You listen with open ears and eyes, using your ears since the night is dark, blinding your other senses.

You feel around for something to hold, something to steady yourself in the black void you’ve fallen into.

But nothing comes...

Whispers that come in the night,

often carry further than those in the day.

Secrets born in darkened blight,

would burden you with great dismay.

Oaths that I had sworn to keep,

Creeping in, take hold of me.

Vows I fucking had to break,

will break me up, I hesitate.

…for a moment… in that moment… I find out that…

this dawn was a lie,

another twisted fucking shadow in disguise.

It’s t...

Whispers that come in the night often carry further than those during the day,

wisps of leftover nightmares

lurk seamlessly between shadows

murmuring dark lies

from forked tongues

in the failing foundation

of an aged wallpapered

mind,

too many shades of yellow

give strength to those

whispers from the night before

like ghostly reminders

carved into the walls, the doorways

and barren landscape...

Whispers that come in the night often carry further than those in the day

Like a planted seed that grows into fruition

Words said in the dark search for the light

Dreams that are made in the black of night

Turn into hope in the light of day

What’s said at dusk echoes into the sky

Rising with the break of dawn

Whispers that come in the night often carry further than those in the day...

Whispers that come in the night often

carry further then those in the day

The whispers that come in these nights

Will help carry your worries away

A lover you love the most of all

Will have a whisper that carries you home

A whisper to your lovely loving lover

Will let them know they don’t love alone

A lover’s midnight whispers whispering

Can be louder then all the scr...

Whispers that come in the night often carry further than those in the day

And a lie never lets the small matter of truth get in it’s way

Misinformation travelling faster than the speed of enlightenment

Avoiding the call to love one another by quoting the Old Testament

How did we get here, so far removed from common decency

Fate appears to have allowed fear to fill the hope vacancy

Under the c...
