Hell within a hell

The shadows that follow me.

Cannot see what they are.

They call out to me

Without a voice or tongue.

I feel them in my Mind

Like they are easedropping

On my every thought

And memory.

Looking for something

A key to unlock them

From their unmerciful destiny.

Trapped in a place

I too will be joining them soon.

They have lost everything

To become ugly

misunderstood creatures

That will never be able to escape.

Maybe they need my past.

Thoughts, memories to use

As their own to keep them from

Disappearing, from even their demon

Inside them.

Afraid of some horrible death coming

For them that they have already

Suffered.

The place I call hell is what they

Call home.

They need me to keep them from

The place they fear and call hell.

I am their hero.

Security.

Their shelter from their world.
