The windows gave no warning

Of the madness kept inside

She walked in silence, mourning

Searching for the soul who died

Wandering about, unknowing

She was quite simply an aberration

A mind filled with naught, overflowing

Condemned, in her own damnation

In her thoughts, she could see only him

Hear the sound of his voice, a whisper

Sending shivers through her body

Her unassuming, unpretentious ways

Giving delight to his darkness

While deep inside of him, lurking

Where he found her most amusing

He would watch her from afar

Never close enough for her to feel

He was merely a distant pleasure

In the madness of her mind

Spiraling around her, with undignified flair

Consuming her being, ingesting her air

It spoke not a word, just a hum of a voice

In a moment she knew, she had no other choice

She’ll succumb to the madness, held once at bay

Let the fires keep burning, she’s nothing to say

Spinning and swirling, her mind, in a daze

Trapping her, in its hypnotic haze

Locked Doors ~ #poetry

I had to lock my doors,

There was no end in sight

From the horrors that played

In the cold of the night

I no longer wished, nor did I care

As long as I, was safely where

They never can find me, I’m hiding

Those voices inside of me, chiding

Tried to lure me out, with a hideous shout

Oh, the terror was just not subsiding

So I’m stuck behind this wooden door

I’ve no choice, I have to stay

Here, no one else can find me

And I like it, just that way
