From Within

I made a mistake And opened that door again The secret hidden one Where the demons are kept in I tugged at the strings In the delicately woven Sanity of carpet I fell into the bones Of the skeletons in the closet Memories were there I thought not forgotten but erased There played before me The hallucagenic drama of your face Screams echoed forth While your body turned to waste And I was damned myself For coming to this place Demons I ask, I beg and I plead To leave this old haunt You’ve found inside me Take your remains And leave the inside clean Then please do remove The sign marked, “Memories” I need a new life To find a new way Yet it’s hard to stay focused With monsters at bay And though I hide them In style with grace I have damned myself For having this place
