Best Poems Written by Marilyn Ross

In the Darkness

She seeps through the halls
Listening for him to bawl 
Her illusions keep her awake
As her mind continues to break
No one taught her the truth
That her child died at youth
She knew of the fact 
But only made her mind blacked
She lives in Meadow Lanes
Where she stays rooted with chains
If you head straight
You'll go into a dark fate
She's in the baby blue room 
Where she holds her dead womb
She'll cause stairs to creak 
And soon, she'll let out a loud shriek
It'll freeze you in your step
She'll appear, causing you to yelp
Stay frozen, don't move
Unless a tale she'll prove
She'll have tears on her flushed face
She won't move, she wants a chase
Don't give it to her 
Stay still until the coast is clear
Don't worry, she'll leave
But she'll gather you as a pet peeve
Don't stay longer
Unless you want to end like Johnson's daughter
Don't ever come back
For now, the door gains another crack
That was a tragic tale you see?
Now child please, run along and go flee
If you want to know more
Why don't you head to my door?
