House in the shadows...A Poem by Victoria Lee~Mind TricksA house in the shadows
On a road going nowhere
Rooms with no light
Skeletons in every closet
A chill in the air
Walls made of mirrors
Unforgettable Mistakes
Doors all sealed tight
No way out
Ghost's standing guard
Chasing away anything good
A stolen life
A prisoner inside
Words of hope
Cruelly twisted in doubt
Distorted and cast into fragments
Reflecting off a ray of light,
In a haze of smoke and mirrors
Ghost's from the past
paralyze her with slideshows
of terror filled memories
Stuck on play
Unable to forget
Held in a grip
Undefeatable Ghosts
Who won't let go
Another chance passes by
Wasting away
In a house in the shadows
On a road going nowhere
In a room with no light
Day after Day
Year after year
She wonders,
If the light will ever get in
As she waits alone
in the darkness,
In a house in the shadows
On a road going nowhere
With all hope
Distorted in the shadows
Of smoke and mirrors.
