Magic Spells

First they scream.

There silent whispers fill the room,

Hiding from others,

Bouncing around.

 

I told you not to do it. 

It's all your fault.

You just can't manage -

Not cope at all. 

 

Worthless fool, 

Step away, admit defeat.

They all know. 

You can't hide. 

You know we are here. 

 

Never far away, sleeping screams.

Darkened echoes. 

Little white magic spells,

Don't take it away. 

Always there. Never silent.
