In the eerily darkness of the night,
I heard a familiar voice whisper in fright.
With my eyes wide open and heart throbbing,
I opened the door and walked outward groping.

My expectation was brutally chopped,
When I saw no one, my heart nearly dropped.
I screamed out her name,
Too loud in the open space with pain.

For a second, I lost my mind;
Both my sight and mind turned blind.
My thoughts juggled between a dream and reality,
Drowned in the vastness of rarety devoid of clarity.

I held my breath for sometime and carefully listened,
But nothing appeared as envisioned.
The silence only raised my eyebrows
And let suspicion grow.

Before I walked back to my place,
I tried to understand myself and embrace.
I could neither blame the night for such cruelty
Nor tolerate the pain in totality.

The mysterious whisper disappeared into the darkness;
Abondoning my mind in starkness.
There is so many I ought to believe,
But I realized that not everything is to be believed.
