was it the whispering in the dark

what caused Me to wake this night
was it the whispering in the dark 
from the foot of my bed 
the silent screams I hear
the chill of loneliness creeping further into my soul
or the betrayal that laid my heart bare 
trust,
love,
wonder,
truth,
compassion,
imagination 
innocents
all characteristics that are inherently born unto the child
that will fall to the side of the road of life

there once was a child of light and spirit wild
dragged thru the gates of the living hell
words once uttered in anger never die
the broken hearted bleed 
while tortured souls cry
in the ashes of my heart lay the smoldering embers 
of desire 
the remnants of the fiery passions which burned within me
oh tread softly upon this heart of mine
for tucked away in those fragile chambers
lay not only the power of love
but my weakness and demise as well
my ticket to hell

what caused Me to wake this night
was it the whispering in the dark 
from the foot of my bed 
the silent screams I hear
or the chill of loneliness creeping further into my soul
or the betrayal that laid my heart bare

I read this line from a post from giajl and couldn't get it out of My head 


So forgive Me giajl but I had to run with it
