cold eerie desolate hallways
nightly visitors walk the lonely
path from here to hell & back
endlessly searching for all eternity
lost souls are what they are
looking for something they lost
many many years ago
or perhaps it was something
they severely lacked
a bone chilling mist
sweeps on by, frightening
all the children
standing watching
in horror as they pass on by
can’t be touched, sometimes
they can’t be seen
but unlike some
I really do believe
I saw her last night
yet again, roaming
these halls, she claimed
them as her own
I know for a fact
it wasn’t her fault
she always
comes back
I tried to help her
and warn her
don’t you know
sissy it’s daddy’s
fault you see
he’s the one who
hurt you, made you
cry until you literally
died inside.
I know you couldn’t
take it anymore
but they blamed you
just the same
daddy wouldn’t confess
to things he’d done.
