The
Faces
Remain here
Haunting my soul
Each one different
But still the same being
This, the house where I grew up
No longer holds fond memories
Instead it bears the marks of a child
Forgotten, alone, fending off evil
An evil that still dwells inside of it
How I long to rid myself of it
Banish it to another world
Yet, I remain stuck within
A gruesome gabled home
With fiendish faces
Always ogling
Rescue me
Fondly
Anne

Somewhere near the center

In a town much like your own

Lurking in the shadows, is

The place someone called home

 

Graffiti paints the outside

Where once the stone stood proud

Covered over by nature’s roar

Standing alone, now, in a crowd

 

Of wooden barriers hiding

Branches and trees converge

Should you find an entrance

I do hope you’ll soon emerge

 

For town folk tell the story

Of a spirit, there’s no doubt

Who lures you to explore within

But never lets you out

A light beyond me beckons

A wooden door within a wall

Sunshine marks the sacred place

Deep inside this hallowed hall

Beams that cross in symmetry

Mark this place they once called home

Spirits linger, lost in time

Forever, left to roam

Among the empty corridors

Casting shadows in the sun

Haunting visions capture me

There is no place left to run

For just beyond what eyes can see

Lies a kingdom, far more grand

Guarded by phantom warriors

Who, behind the door, now stand
