There is not a day it doesn't come The webbing falling down The pictures fading from my mind Silence the only sound Happiness does not remain The walls turn crimson red The knocking sound continues My conscious fills with dread Whispers float around the room Yet I am in the space alone Time drifts by so slowly My body turns to stone Like the mirror on the wall An image appears ahead Try to make my body move But it just sinks like lead She shouts with bitterness and hate Things I cannot dispell Her voice shrieks so loudly I fall into my hell I cannot run or hide from her And so I take her in Suffering through another night The demon under my skin My night continues filled with rage Hating every sin I hurt, I cry, I hate myself I guess I let her win I awaken in the morning time To another bitter day Time to act the part again Keeping her at bay I wonder what I'll tell the man Who thinks he holds my heart I fear one day this demon Will tear the both of us apart And I'll be left here in my cage Waiting for us to reunite Thinking about what it is I need For me to win this fight... "...at night I cling to you I'm so afraid; afraid the day will come and I'll wake up and find you gone. But you promise that you'd not abandon me and kissed my fears away but I woke up to that day..." 'Waking up Beside You' by Stabbing Westward |

wow.....wikket...this just blew me away...this is incredible...such a deep and emotional expression...truly excellent. thank you for sharing it... and I'm glad your back posting...seems like its been awhile. love your signature verse as well... take care, janet marie Now for me some words come easy... But I know that they don't mean that much Compared with the things that are said when lovers touch. You never knew what I loved in you-- I don't know what you loved in me... Maybe the picture of somebody you were hoping I might be... How long have I been sleeping- How long have I been drifting alone through the night... How long have I've dreaming I could make it right... If I closed my eyes and tried with all my might To be the one you need... Jackson Browne |

Beautiful in a dreary kind of way. Good expression To win the fight against ones self is a task we all fight daily. |

Hello Wikket. Being new here i haven`t had the chance to read any of your work before and let`s just say I`m looking forward to hearing more. This one was wonderful. "The world is never the same once a good poem has been added to it." -Dylan Thomas |
