The hallway

the darkness and the light

The echoes.

The silence.

 

The blood stains on the wall.

 

Here, in such a state

Lies the broken shell

 

It's burning

It's bleeding

 

With dried up

Pages of blood

 

It's crying

It's screaming

 

PAST ALL OF THE PAIN OF LOVE!

 

THE HALLWAY SHINES A LIGHT

THE DARKNESS LOOKS SO BRIGHT

 

THE HALLWAY SHINES A LIGHT

BUT IT WON'T MAKE IT RIGHT

 

The color

The contrast

 

The knife held in the hand

 

The toture

The forcast

 

THE LEDGE WHERE IT SHOULD STAND

 

THE HALLWAY SHINES A LIGHT

THE DARKNESS LOOKS SO BRIGHT

 

THE HALLWAY SHINES A LIGHT

A CANDLE FOR A LIFE

 

Stare down the wall

Stare down the wall

 

It's only waiting to fall...

 

Close its eyes...

Close its mind...

 

Close the door...

 

Blood is reaching the floor...

 

So hold it up...

And call it out...

 

Hold it up...

IT'S FALLING DOWN!

IT'S FALLING DOWN!

 

THE HALLWAY SHINES THE LIGHT

THE WINDOW HOLDS IT TIGHT

 

THE HALLWAY SHINES THE LIGHT

THE WINDOW TAKES THE LIFE

 

So many pieces...

Lie on the floor...

 

So much blood...

Is on the wall...

 

So many secrets...

Lie in its mind...

 

So many lies...

SO MUCH TIME!

 

The hallway shines a light...

The darkness looks so bright...

 

The hallway shines a light...

But it won't keep its life...

 

The hallway shines the light...

Tomorrow, it will be right...

 

When the hallway kills the light...

 

And the window takes a life...

wow. not too sure what to say about this one. i loved how you used objects like the hallway and the window as the 'bad guys' of this piece. the window taking a life and the hallway, your basically saying that it killed all hope for the life to live. this is dark poetry to me but in a way that doesnt describe hurting one's self. which i think is really good. great job!
