Winter minds

by Neon_Glow

There's a dark winter Forest I bide my time in I haven't left this Forest in years Wolves trace the outskirts, Whispering their lies through their teeth "We care about you"                 "We want what's best for you" Amidst the sharpening of their fangs The leaves have fallen Leaving a cocoon for my retreat The new found silence is comforting But you can only hide for so long         Soon comes the numbness                      Then the pins and needles The needles become blades And the silence becomes deafening I guess there's no winning after all The only relief to the torment is sleep                But the thought of sleep has become a dream Ironic Increasingly frantic thoughts are hidden from the wolves They'll use your weakness as a weapon You can't let them win With the choice being between wolves and the silence The last great comfort radiates from the noose At last, rest
