Dolls In The Attic

 

Dolls in the attic

Rocking chairs that move

Old records begin to play

Creaky stairs, dogs that fight

A farmer bailing hay

Candles in the air

A full-length mirror

 

You know, someone’s near

 

A chandelier, a treasure chest

Old letters bring a tear

A dried corsage, a wedding dress

A tuxedo stained with beer

Mischievous deeds, angry thoughts

Time has stopped for someone here

Eerie lights, cats that hide

 

You know, someone’s near

 

Worn out jeans, broken screens

Acres painted in shades of green

A soul still clinging, softly singing

Bible hymns from a worn out swing

A rusty gate, a hellish wait

Skies above filled with tears

A moonless night, an endless plight

 

You know, someone’s near

 

A broken vase, ones fall from grace

Silence is the scream

Hungry eyes, woeful cries

The dinner bell suddenly rings

Rotted pies, death has lied
You know I've had my fill

Here I am, where are you?

 

My love for you is still

[Last Lying Look]

This was amazing!!!
It was so suspenseful and I couldn't take my eyes off the page.
I love the title as well. It gives such an eerie feel to the poem.
Excellent work.
Very creative.
