The House on Grayson Place

The House on Grayson Place ~ The Disappearance


Hidden under her veil of black

Coat slung over her shoulder

No one sees her, as she moves about

Her clothes, from days, much older

She holds a scroll, in both her hands

Or is it something else she clasps

She watches, as others drift on by

Still, no one stops and asks

Ms. Grayson, hides in the shadows

Where she will never leave a trace

Laughs, at all the village folk

An evil sneer, still, upon her face

Remember the house on Grayson Place

Not quite sure just where it’s gone

It appears, now, to be an empty space

Perhaps it was never there, all along

A pile of grassy dirt lays claim

To the lot, where it once stood

The neighborhood’s never been the same

Not quite sure it really should

Remind us, of the woman, who

We could hear, from dawn til dusk

Her howling shrill, would pierce right though

Ever long, and rather brusque

We knew better than to get too near

Strange things happened much too fast

How she filled us with this dreadful fear

A woman, who was marked, an outcast

Hurry up, she’d always say

Having all the time in the world

Speaking curtly to everyone

She watched, as they unfurled

Making sure the laundry was folded

And the beds, all properly made

Vacuuming carpets completely

Ne’er forgetting to dust the lampshade

She held them all accountable

They’d cower, at the look on her face

Making sure they were tormented

In this house on Grayson Place

Stories are still told about her

How nasty she was to her staff

Yet, no one really knew of her existence

She’s just a woman, in a photograph
