Charlie's Room


velouria

Recommended Posts

We sat in the corner screaming

With our hands on

Our ears

To block out the gnawing shiver

That always had been, now

Louder, persistent.

While the children play in their

Costumes , a high ring

Of laughter

Drifts in through the wood

Of the door to our sanctum,

Little mockingbirds.

I crumble against the glass that

Holds her in. It keeps us both

In terror,

Clawing at the floorboards

And tasting the sting of the blood

On our lips.

What had happened to the night?

Who had stolen the glow of

The girl?

Some say there can be only

One, but we know better.

She knows.

We thought we were trapped, but it was

Only serenity in the heat of

That room.

The place that held me more

Than I held myself, blinded

By loneliness.

Now I slide through hell by day

Without the solace

Of insanity.

She slips, and it is worse now than

Our time at the window

Ever was.

Wow. That's really good. Really really good. Well, that's what I think. I'm into writing and it's my humble opinion, but I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed it and to say that you should post up more! :)
