There were laughs and smiles, worn in the walls.

Warmth echoed from the floor. 

They lived in this house of cards.

Lasting like an ember

Until the blood and bone tore in,

And drowned what once was forever.

The lungs they stopped.

The heart burst.

The perfection overthrown.

Now in the silence. 

I sit here, empty and alone.

They may have died that day,

but I still hear their voices.

Twisted, bloody rasps 

I try to remember

The smiles of the past

But all I see are my vengeful demons,

Clawing at the walls.

And just because I didn't die. 

That never means I’m still alive,

The barrel of iron death.

Brought to my mind.

That day I lost my tongue.

Lost the perfect race.

Hearing all my demons

The ghost of the silent place.

And oh why do they apologize?

For the bloody walls?

The scarlet paint of sabers.

Applied by sinner might

And why do the innocent apologize? 

My sister, Mother, friends.

They all weep in apology, in the back of my head

I beg them to stop.

Gouging out my ears.

A lost, loveless child.

Living only in fear

Nothing left to live for.

In this cursed place.

Can't move on from their bloody, broken face.

I wished I'd never die alone but living empty shatters bones.

How can I keep walking like a ghost?

The silence sets in like bullet rain.

The house once alive, A morbid display.

And in the corner of my home.

A husk sits, all alone.

Thank you for a thousand moments I thought would surely double.

Thank you for the wasted time. 

Broken hearts and childish lies.

Thank you for this broken world where people rarely live.

Thank you so much that I'm living all alone. While my heart lives with death,

I hope you're happy. You foul beast. Hope you got what you want.

You rung every single drop of blood.

Stole all the souls.

Then twisted the story and painted you a saint.

You made us monsters,

 drove me insane.

Why must you steal all I had?

Painting my walls all black?

Why does happy never last forever?

A portrait lost in the mud.

I’m sorry for letting you all go.

I’m sorry I wasn't there.

Please forgive what happens next.

I wish it could have been more,

But the child in the silent place, they wants to smile again. 

Or even just feel more than pain. 

The child is far too broken. 

Too many scars to count.

A gallery of broken parts.

Rusted locks shut doors tight.

The child in the silent place let the curtain close

Pressing sliver to their throat.

The story ended. 

Corpse to dust. 

Wooden fondation rots away.

Such a terrible tragedy. 

Begging for expiry.

As such a green creature.

Welcomes death as a friend.

The child in the silent place.

Now rotting slowly away.

But on the other side.

You see a glimmer of hope.

I pray for you dear tragedy.

May death bring back what you lost.

The laughter of your family.

The feeling of the sun.

The heart and soul you lost that day.

Child of the silent place no more.
