Visions of walls surround, with darkness looming in every corner,
eyes bright with fear flashing across hidden memories.
Yet pieces of me are emblazoned, in simple words, triggering a haunting past
where black roses filled the emptiness with thorns that scarred and burnt.
Every laneway yelled my doom with persistence, but now fearful eyes turned to sneers
spinning in delerium, taunting in tremors of aversion.
Sleep merely a fanciful dream in a mind too full of ghosts
and the walls close in slowly, slowly, as the neon lights extinguish.
