Listen to The Gloom

What haunts me ?  
What torments me ?  
What shakes my eyes ?  
Pushing out tears .      
Years gone By .    
Wasted by the wayside ,    
there they lie .    
I can’t wake them up !    
My hopes already tried .  
Walk with me , hold my hand .    
Listen to me , don’t waste the years      
that you’ve got ahead .    
Said the whisper , in my hearts ,    
lonely bed .    
Stop worrying about the ‘dead’ , along the wayside .    
Let them lie , in a corner , in back of your head .    
In the back parlor , of your mind .    
Walk with me , hold my hand .    
Listen to my dreams , listen to my thoughts ,      
but don’t disclose !      
Shhhh !      
Nobody knows .    
Listen closelely .    
Do you hear the screams !    
Walk with me , hold me tight !      
Into my night .    
Listen to my fright .    
Listen to my nightmares .    
But don’t disclose .      
Nobody knows .    
Listen !    
Do you hear the echoes .    
Do you see the shadows .    
Do you see the shadows , draping my heart .    
Do you see the echoes , shaking my eyes !    
And the remnants , streaming , glistening ,    
pooling by the wayside .    
Listen !   Closely .    
I can’t disclose what torments me so .    
Because I don’t know .    
But I do know .    
That it won’t let go .
