Alone
by
Come sit by my window with me
and listen to my scary poetry
old wive=s tale of sadness and strife
and selfish rambling of ending a life
giggles and laughter reach through the wall
but my man made black shadows block them all
no one dares open the door
they don=t that=s what its there for
cold wind walks through the screen
and drag in someone=s careless scream
it floats around and around my head
this is my insanity that I thee wed
welcome to shadows, two steps from light
purposefully hidden, in plain sight
please wipe your feet clean at the door
my dirt=s enough, I don=t want any more
