Last night I woke alone and heard

A whisper in my ears

Murmured tales to me about my past

And mocked about my fears

-

Jeered about the things I’d done

Things I’d had yet to do

Sneered at all my memories

Things I have yet to rue

-

Taunted me and haunted me

Through the entire night

It’s vanished now without a trace

It left at morning light

-

Last night I woke alone and though

The voice has disappeared,

It will be back forevermore…

It’s worse than I had feared.
