Poem Title:
Poem
At the corner of Ocean an Atlantic, Late at night neighborhood kids would get frantic, A run down building that had been condemned, One night is where I took my friends. The hospital house was known for the mentally insane, In the 50’s experiments were done on peoples brains, Many people died beyond those walls, We were told if we went in we could still here their calls. It was right around Halloween, We were five bored kids that wanted to have a little scream, The only way in was to crawl through the basement window, I was scared but did not want it to show. Once inside it was too dark for us to have any sight, Someone brought a small flashlight, The room was all dusty, cob webs draped around, Cold chills ran through my body, I could not hear one sound. The boys decided to explore, I couldn’t move, I just sat by the window so I could still prove, But the others went on in sheer fear, I was afraid of what might appear. The smell of death lingered in the air, After five minutes I knew we shouldn’t be there, With everyone gone on there own little tours, In the silence I began to hear much more, A little girl crying, faintly, I heard, I thought it was in my head, a girl crying would be absurd, Suddenly I heard the boys all screaming, I jumped out that window so fast I thought my heart would stop beating, They came running down, Screaming" look what we found," A skull of a baby wrapped in one boy’s hand, “Through it back” I said, with a violent demand, We all went running down that dreary street, To the old oak tree were we all swore to meet, The boys heard a girl crying and thought it was me, I told them I heard it too and was ready to flee, That week the small hospital was torn down We never told anyone what we found A year later they built a bran new house, I saw a young lady walking out one day in a white blouse, Then two months later I saw a for sale sign, I wonder if it was because that young lady heard a child’s wine.
