House Of Horrors…

Reverberation of harsh words

Penetrate the walls of this decaying lot

Profiting no one but a simple man’s ego

I do nothing? He says

I am lazy? Yet rarely get deep sleep in my bed

Patterns of different footsteps flood our floors

They have seen all the horrors unfold

Stored in this soil are demons that toil

I do nothing? He says

I am lazy? Yet rarely get deep sleep in my bed

Furniture gets replaced

Flowers sprout anew

Pictures get switched out, but the traumatic damage that haunts this house never changes.

I do nothing? He says

I am lazy? Yet, I rarely get a good rest in my bed.
