Memory Hall (a nightmare)

Memory Hall (a nightmare)

A Poem by R.M.C

I walk down the Hall,

Ignoring the heads on the walls;

I look straight ahead,

Playing deaf to their calls.

 

I shudder as droplets of my soul

Slowly leak from my bloodshot eyes;

I struggle to breathe as my throat's

Constricted from my lies.

 

I start to run,

Slowed by their stares;

I start despairing,

Plunged into the dark from dying flares.

 

Every night I run down this Memory Hall,

Knowing I won’t wake if I should happen to stall.

Thank you. I'm glad I managed to achieve a dark feel to it and that you managed to read it easily.
and we keep wondering if we will wake up or just die in the dream...sometimes those mares are so hard to get out of...

i like this kind of subject...those houses of horror...the dreams that seem reality and vice-versa...7th line, it should be "throat's/ constricted"

but a good eerie journey down the hall...

Ah, the ghosts and ghoulies of memory. Certainly they haunt us all. No way to outrun them and no way to totally erase them. Terrifying scene created here. Good work. Lydi**
