A creak of floorboards through the house
All the lights are now out
Just candles now light the way
In a house of night
That sees no light of day
An out of tune piano plays
In a melodic and twisted way
Faint cries, moans and wails
To my ears these noises assail
I look for relief but to no avail
My skin creeps and my nerves tingle
In expectation and trepidation
This situation is a revelation
Showing me the dark and fearsome side of life
Full of foreboding fearful I may die
I follow the candle lit path to its end
In the darkness I descend
Down a hole that never ends
Then as I fear the worst
Light springs forth
And I am in the open
I feel a sense of such release
Before I feel the hand
On my shoulder behind me
Grip me tight and pull me back in
To the darkness that is never ending
I am now lost in fear eternal
Lost in a place of forever suffering
I strive to find the light once more
But I can only find solid locked doors
Imprisoning my once and for all
Nobody hears my calls
For help, salvation
For some way out
But I fear my life is now over
Of that I have no doubt
So it’s futile how much I scream and shout
I can only simply dream about
The momentary time where I found the light
And how I despaired as it was snatched from sight.
