The Chamber of Secrets
I remember standing in the woods on a cold fall night.
Looking up at the storm ridden sky is the last thing I remember from when I was still alive.
Everyone knows and everyone remembers,
But no one would ever dare to recall those cold dark chambers.
Locked up for so long without a breath of fresh air,
I knew it was time for me to stop being so scared.
I escaped from that place and ran as far as I could until all I could do was stand there.
In the dead of night,
In the middle of fall,
Looking up in the sky trying to catch my breath, I was taken again.
This time not to the chambers,
But all the way to my death.
