A whisper creeps
in my head at night
saying words that wrap
around me tight
strangling me with its cries & lies
slowly killing the dream inside
injecting me with such desires
to stray from the path
where I lie

Although I've tried to cover my ears
my heart listens to what my ears
cannot hear
then it all goes to my mind
where it starts to make my eyes blind
to the truth I'm soon to forget
if the whisper never leaves my head
