Won't You Visit My Room?

Won't You Visit My Room?

A Poem by Dark Star

I SIT ALONE IN THIS BARREN WHITE ROOM

I HEAR FOOTSTEPS OUTSIDE, THEY'LL BE HERE SOON

FEET NESTLED BENEATH ME, MY FINGERTIPS DANCE OVER BINDING

A STRING OF CHAOTIC EVENTS IS SEEMINGLY UNWINDING

IT'S SO BRIGHT IN HERE NOT EVEN SMALL SHADOWS DANCE ON THE WALLS

THE SOUND OF THEIR SHOES ECHO IN THE HALLS

THOSE MEN ARE BACK WITH THEIR SADISTIC FACES

THEY'RE HERE WITH ALL OF THEIR FILLED UP CASES

BUT THEY WON'T BE FULL FOR LONG, THEY'LL SOON BE PUT TO USE

LIKE THE TREES IN SALEM THAT HUNG WITCHES FROM THEIR NOOSE

WITH CAUTIOUS STEPS THEY COME EVEN CLOSER

WITH THE EYES OF A QUEEN WHOSE MEN HAVE OPPOSED HER

I WANT TO RUN, TO BE FREE OF THIS TORTURE, TO ESCAPE FROM THIS HELL

INSTEAD I SCREAM, SO ENTIRELY FEAR FILLED, EVEN THESE MEN COULD TELL

YET THEY PURSUED WITH THEIR NEEDLES AND DID THE DEED

AND I WATCH THEM WALK AWAY, LEAVING ME TO BLEED

THERE'S A NEW DRUG IN ME NOW, ONE LIKE NO OTHER

I CLAMP MY EYES SHUT AND RELEASE A STRONG SHUDDER

CURLED ON MY SIDE I NOTICE THE DOOR IS OPEN

A NEW GIRL STANDS OUTSIDE, LISTENING TO THE VOICE THAT HAS SPOKEN

"IT WILL BE OVER SOON, JUST WAIT AND SEE"

IT WAS THEN THAT I REALIZED THEY WERE SPEAKING OF ME

NOW THEY'RE ALL STARING AT ME WITH APATHETIC EYES

EXCEPT FOR THE NEW GIRL WHO WAS IN FOR A SURPRISE

MY EYES ARE SCREWING SHUT, BUT NOT BEFORE I PRAY

THAT THE POOR GIRL TAKING MY ROOM WILL GET OUT OF HERE ONE DAY

Hmmm not much to say. I'm pretty much like everyone else. I laugh when it is completely inappropriate, say things I shouldn't and worry about what people think of me. Well maybe not everyone is like t.. more..
