Where Echoes Hide

There's a place in my heart where sunlight never shines. 
A place so lost and forgotten that no one ever finds. 
It's so empty and dark there are shadows on all sides. 
Deep inside this cavern is the place where echoes hide. 

There are cobwebs all around and decay everywhere. 
Leading into the dark is a dangerous steep stair. 
If you find yourself at the bottom where shadows glide. 
You'll find yourself in a corner of hell where echoes hide. 

If there's ever a time you are there don't stay long. 
You may hear a sound much like a devil's song. 
When this sound seems to come from deep inside. 
You've become one of the shadows where echoes hide.

Deep write Scott, this is what I call poetry. Your words harvest a heavy heart, sad to see it's been dimmed from any light. A perfect 7 poem. SKAT
