Ryan Maroni Poet Free verse

Walk Inside Me

You taste like salted chocolate
That's a bitter sweet truth
I taste like nothing
Losing the scent of my youth.
You are walking on water
Miraculously you never sink
I am walking on egg shells
Feet bloody, mind filling to the brink.

Do I know you miss shadow of a ghost?
You don't know me and neither do most
I am your monster in the closet
The spider in your bed
I am sickness creeping in your head
Don't open the doors now
I promise it's too late
In every light found, darknes is the mate. 

I am trapped in looking glass
Stuck looking at myself
If these eyes could burn holes
I and me would melt.
Old bones never rattle
But old souls never stop
Just don't open the doors now
I promise it's too late
In every light found, darkness is the mate

Jake Ponce April 25, 2014 at 1:53 AM Hello, Ryan. It's my first time reading your work and I must say I definitely am going to read more of your compositions. I'm envious of the way you make your words flow and make it seem like a very sinister nursery rhymes. It makes me think of an old pop-up book with a dark tale for its narrative. Awesome!
