eyes

eyes stare
straight ahead
as i lie
in my bed
haunted i think
others see
i only feel
painful memory

my heart

empty, hollow, and desolate,
in here, no feelings reside.
open my heart, examine it,
you'll find no emotion inside.

door

He's here for a visit,
My door has no lock.
A chair under the knob,
Makes everyone knock.

My sister comes to the door,
She'd like to come in please,
"Not right now! I'm busy"
But she begs and pleads.

Of course, he must take up her cause,
He slams into the door.
Whoops! There goes the knob-
My door now locks no more.

We all know it's not HIS fault,
I shouldn't have put in the chair!
And yet we must remember who
I'm REALLY trying to keep out of here...

So now I've learned my lesson,
Should have learned it years ago,
There's no such thing as a safe place,
There's nowhere I can go.

memories of a bunkbed II

The game is done for tonight-
He ends with just one more request-
Please will I sleep with nothing on
Now that it's time for my nightly rest?
