Into My Cherry River

Can you hear them too?
The voices…
Can you hear them?
They follow me
Everywhere
I go
I hear them
But I can’t see them.

The ghosts,

They haunt me

Their cries fill my head,

What started as a whisper;

Soothing And soft,

Now grows to a terrible shriek.

They’re screaming.
Screaming at the past,
Screaming at me.
Their voices
Carry their pain
Straight through me,
I shudder
Every time.

It gets louder

And louder

They scream at me,

And I scream back

Locked in a never ending battle

With each other.
