Blood Red Room -A Poem Inspired By Jane Eyre
Heart is racing,
Tears pour down my face
I open my eyes,
And see the blood red walls
Swarming in a pit of darkness.
I scream, no one answers
I plead, I am ignored
Oh God, what did I do?
What did I do to deserve this?
The yellow glare of the demon's eyes
Get brighter,
The cold breeze cuts through my skin,
There are no windows open.
Jane...Jane!
What called my name?
Go away demons!
Go back to the fiery pit of your underworld!
Footsteps are growing louder,
My world begins to spin
Faster and faster.
I fall and land somewhere
In the blood red room.
A sharp pain increases
In my mind,
I give in
And let my eyes flutter
Shut and await
To be let free.
