Echo
Poem
© 2022, Tanweer Dar
It's difficult
To make out
The voice
I can hear
In the echo
Reverberating
In the darkness
It grows louder
Coming closer
Slithering
Creeping
A serpent
Of sound
Sinister
Undecipherable
Until it is too late
And I can finally
Decode
The terrifying truth
As it stands before me
Inevitable
The walls themselves
Speak its words
A chilling promise
Of nothing
Except despair
