Memories Beyond the Door

Can it be? After all this time? In my dream I float through a home. Here, where I left my soul without a shrine in grime. This corridor... my heart turns to stone. My feet won't turn around nor will they stop at my bid. My mind conforms to chaos, yet my body is sound. I seem to be in some monotonous state of allure so timid. The darkness illuminates the sorrow of the disintegration I threw away, in vain. I reach the door I locked years ago and my panic boils at what I can't face again. Behind the door would be all I lost. Everything I left behind not to stagnate. Now a haunting voice sings to melt the frost of the decision I made in the countenance of fate. To my horror I possess the key to the past. The lock is rusted and welded, to my relief. Now I recognise the ghost's song, and joy is engulfed fast... Memories erupt... I remember... I murdered her in grief...
