Neglected Wails

Neglected Wails

A Poem by Theo Ratcliffe

Wails of old wood,

creaking,

Rotting,

Falling apart.


The floor above creating tension,

Each step was taken with fear,

Suspense growing,

Collapsing;

Only moments away.


The basement door opened,

Room abandoned

Fog guiding the darkness,

Climbing the steps,

Full of neglect

Creaking beneath it.


From behind,

A creepy feeling passed over,

Accompanied with the eerie force to go down;


Cold breeze swept over,

Shivering;


Frigid air creating a breath,

That danced along numb skin;


Unfelt.
