Haunted House


Mind flashes the past, in and out of consciousness Unable to find the door from which let you in Visions of your own past life's sacarphagus With the zombies standing over it claiming next of kin Screams carried through the hallways, echo's everywhere Your eyes are slammed shut with shaking lids This house you purchased has become your nightmare As you vomit continuously the Demons acids Whispering voices within the walls, who is it? Someone you once knew or previously heard Unable to focus as if you've become illiterate Is this me in past life where I was tortured? Sorrow bleeds down the walls, puddling the floor The haunted being haunted by it's haunted self In desperate need to find that door Locked in this house haunted by myself
