ASYLUM

A tapping on the open door

A humming in the stale air

A small room with cold walls

A chamber of despair

And cries of the ghosts

Wailing into the night

Long dead for their sins

Suffering against the twilight

White inside and out

Padding against the pain

A moving bed on the floor

Bloody sheets nicely lain

Drip and a drip and a drip

Water splashing the flow

Faster and faster and faster

No movement or control

A slow screeching of nails

A whisper of a sound

A chill running up the spine

Mind going round and round

Cut now into silence

Let the screams disappear

Hear the dead heart beating

Feel its eternal fear
