A Lonely Room

Screaming from shadows cast aside The sun drifts away from where I hide Such darkness echoes through these halls Such painful reminders upon its walls Walking alone I count each room Containing the memories I now exhume Such life I seemed to once portray Such naivety begging to be betrayed Dreaming beyond the steps ahead A place I no longer dare to tread Where weaving ghosts call out my name Where whispering demons discuss my shame Desperate to flee and hide once more But numbness has struck my empty core Such reason to no longer be Such painful surroundings envelope me Calmness as I traverse these stairs Darkness ahead, but I don’t care Ghosts welcoming me home I slip into bed, and I’m alone
