My Watchers
they are mine. all seven dark figures that haunt my dreams and torment my days. My Watchers. all day, everday, and i dont know why.
at first there was a small breath on my neck and a whisper in my ear, showing me what filled my nightmares as a child. now they are the only things that understand me.
one for the hope ive lost
two for the dreams my mother crushed
three for the days spent in darkness, with tears streaming down my cheecks
four show me the future i could have had
five give me glimpses of a joyfilled past
six for the love thats been stolen from me
and seven holds sharp angry blades at my throat when life gets to good, seven shows me the guilt i hold.
an eighth will come one day, and a ninth and so on.
until im crushed under my own subconscious.
they stay by my side
until the end
with My Watchers at my side
