Temptation

The voices in my head
are telling
me to
follow the
shadows.

I cannot take action
however,
because I'm
numb to the
bone.

I'm frozen in time
and cannot fathom
a rhyme when
my heart is close to
warm.

Nothing shall
put these
treacherous
thoughts to
rest.

No matter
what happens,
I'll be forever
trapped in
disbelief.

Endlessly falling
in this
black hole,
I feel
suffocated.

Rejected
and abandoned
is what I feel
in this whirl of
emotions.

"Come.
Come.
Come to me
for you shall find
peace."

I try not to listen
to the tempting
voice in my head,
calling me
over.

I turn to my
right and left
but see not one
by my
side.

Instead, I see
empty space,
not willing
to be
filled.

Blank lines
everywhere
since not one
cared to hold a
pen.

Soon, I accept
the emptiness
and listen
to the toxic
thoughts.

I shut my eyes
briefly to heighten
my senses,
the wind blowing through my
hair.

I take one step
then another as
I lose myself to the music
my psychotic thoughts are
dancing to.
