"Voiceless Poet"
Location
Head spiraling; thoughts high-jacking controls.
Strapped in by force into facing the latent horror.
Smacked int he face as I mentally prepare.
Can't get away...struggling to get away.
I can still sense your presence.
I know you're still there.
They tried to tel me, but I did not wish to see.
Unraveling the hidden, I'm not ready.
Please make it stop.
I'm helpless to fight.
Wishing this was all just a nightmare.
The door slowly opens and out of all people.
I wasn't expecting you.
Friend?
Faceless phantom surrenders to the jealous rage.
Trying to soothe this beast; it's uncanny.
Nor music or words can reach the closed-heart fist.
Cold, odorless but I still discern your essence.
Hovering, lingering gradually numbing perceptions.
Anonymous reputation; it's black veil.
Do I really know your identity?
Deceive into thinking I did.
But WHO IS THE REAL YOU?`
Do you even have an idea?
Parasitic leeches feasting on the soul.
Shivering from the grotesque id.
A familiarity; somehow I knew.
Perhaps I've always known.
I didn't want to believe that you, of all people, mislead me.
Naive as I keep thinking who knows me better than you?
Fearsome foe or humble soul?
Dubious of both....
You've like me and we both cannot escape this fact.
We're both humans; mortals.
Capable of great sin and selfless deeds.
I now know this entity you tried so hard to conceal.
Stare-down....
Am I that easy to fool?
Could this be true?
After all, who knows me better than you?
