Tormented

In the deepest hour
of night,
darkness wakes up the demons
chained within my heart and mind
from their slumber.

They wake up
to torment
and terrorize.

They chase away my sleep.
Punishing me with sleepless nights
for reasons unknown.

Every second weighs like tons,
I carry them on my shoulders.
Like a bonded labour
to unknown destination.

I tremble with fever,
fatigue and pain.
Cold and cough shake me up violently
still they show no mercy.

They watch me drag every moment
with demonic smiles.

My cheeks are wet
don’t know
whether they are tears or sweat
Both taste the same.

I eagerly wait for
the first rays of the Sun
for then
shall my torment end.

When the two demons
shall leave me free
called
Loneliness and Emptiness.

P.S. Due to lack of time am unable to write anything new. So, am publishing one of my earlier posts with a few alterations.
Hope you will enjoy it.
