Mushroom Manor
Mushroom Manor, dark and foreboding, shimmering in the breeze
Silhouetted on the hillside through the dark gnarled bleak trees
She seemed to whisper, come, come, enter me, we shall be as one
Then the thick swirling fog descended and Mushroom Manor had gone
As the fog lifted, she reappeared, trapping and surrounding me as though I was her possession
Invading me as though I was her new found groom and she did not want to let go, an obsession
From inside, her windows and doors were not there, they had disappeared into walls of cold brick
Then the fog descended once more and enveloped her, stealing her along with me, I felt sick
I awoke in a sweat and thanked the lord for the windows and door, I did not sleep that night any more
