Peter Madden - I Hear The Screams

I tell you i hear the screams,
echoing silently throughout my mind,
i plead for you to hear their words,
as they whisper in my ear,

can you hear the voices?

i tell you i see people,
standing watching in the corners,
lidless eyes stare relentlessly,
burrowing into my soul,

can you see them?

i tell you i feel it,
the itching burning in my blood,
a feeling skin is but a prison,
redness within crying out to be free,

can you feel the pain inside?

dont leave me in the dark,
screaming in the night,
trying to be free,
alone lost to madness.

can you even hear me? ......
