Sinister Dawn

there is a room
in a broken home
where terror thrives
sleeping on knives
the walls of this room
in the broken home
reveal the devil through closed eyes
so at night he sits and crys
outside the room
in the broken home
all love is gone
and the sun rises on a blackened dawn

so sad, I've lived in more than one of these. Your verse does rhyme. It has end rhyme. Light & Love

How sad it must be to live in such a "broken home," Jonathan. Many of us have "been there," but it's a place we never wish to see again. If this is how you're feeling now, I hope these hard times end soon. This is a genuinely moving write, Jonathan. Love and blessings, Carolyn
