The lights fade away by night
The howling ghosts reappear
They are searching for me everywhere
But I have always been right here
…
They want to consume me
I do not mind giving in
There is not more evil in them
Than there is within
…
And when the feast is delivered
And the beasts are satisfied
I’ll know you could have rescued me
If only I would have cried
beautiful , I wore a smile for decades while my soul rotted.

To be consumed by evil willing. Yes, we have all done that.

So true for some of us, but we push to get out of the bad habit or let go of it… 😊 Thank you for sharing these beautiful words.

yes all one needs to do is cry aloud
sometimes silence does not pay
although crying aloud also does not help sometimes
when the party who one is crying for refuses to listen…or
unable to understand ….
