Lingering Voices

Mon, 05/19/2014 - 22:59 -- ashiibr

I hear whispers in the shadows,

I hear voices in the breeze.

But the scariest things of all,

Are the screams among the trees.

 

I feel shivers through my veins,

When I hear that dreadful cry.

I am fully aware of the reason

Why these voices linger by.

 

They are calling for our help,

A desperate cry for fear of defeat.

The stench of death passes over,

For these monsters cannot be beat.

 

I will leave you with one warning,

One you'll really want to try.

Watch out for what is behind you

When voices linger by.
