Keepsakes

"Watching with tainted eyes, my dear reader?"

Oh don’t be shy, I know you’re there,

You’re the only one who reads through my lines,

Hears my secret songs, prays on my sweet little lies,

Come, sit here and sulk, in the library of my mind,

This place which you once thought was beautiful,

Is nothing more than a feeble disguise.

Get cozy, it’ll be a while, till you understand the truth,

This place you’ve dreamed of visiting… now please stay and sleuth,

Before long you’ll notice, we’re not alone in here,

My whimsical words are from that voice right over there,

Chaos is that way, yep just down the hall,

Don’t get lost in misery, that’s what happens to them all,

Don’t say I didn’t warn you, this house was never a home,

But a nightmare I’ve decorated, so that I can call you my own.
