DARK, RED STAINS


There are dark, winding corridors,
which we are bound to walk.
And the shadows are alluring,
looking for someone to stalk.

Glaring white walls with dark, red stains.
Somebody forgot to remove the remains.
Are you still hiding, in vain, in fear?
Watch out so you don't get lost, dear.

There are people above us, staring in,
watching and judging our every sin.
I know what you did that other night.
I can see you know in that blinding light.

I'm lost in here, I'm a dark, red stain.
But where are you, my lover, my pain?
Did you find your way out of this lifelong maze?
I hope you'll remember my agonized face.

your writing is filled with images that leave a lasting impression that evoke such feelings which take me to places in my mind I dare visit and yet return to as a child who keeps looking, knowing, that the monster will look back from under the bed.

A dark and pain filled read DB, one left behind the the other will always be followed by society and guilts shadow. Fabulous work, that last line is so haunting.

Take care, smiling at you
