A Thought Within the Whispers of My Mind

A Thought Within The Whispers

Of My Mind

She walks along the edge

of madness,

on the cliffs of insanity

Her thoughts contorting,

twisting into disconnected fragments

weaving in and out of her

subconscious like a labyrinth

of tangled spider webs.

Her heart frozen,

numb

held like a prisoner inside

an unbreakable wall

of secrets and lies

"Lies," she says aloud

It's always been lies.

They echo in her ear like

the shattering of a thousand halos.

She covers her ears and screams.

Screams until the trees shake

And the heavens burst,

raining down a storm of

fire and sapphires

Fire for her rage

Sapphires for her heart

The gods above have heard

her screams and have

unleashed the demons

from her soul.

They surround her.

Isolate her.

Consume her.

She stares into the desolate sky,

watching the moon

disappear into a terrible sadness.

Such a terrible, terrible sadness

She drops to her knees,

Only to find herself

gazing into a mirror

of her own tears.

She traces the outline

of her face,

Her emerald eyes

shining like lanterns

in the darkness,

unable to grasp the reality

of the world she lives in.

She stands up to watch

the fireflies that

have gathered around her.

Enchanted by their beauty,

hypnotized by their radiant glow,

she falls into a trance,

floating though out

the sun,

the moon,

and the stars.

All so different,

yet connected by a single

thought within the whispers

of my mind.
