Mirroring what's bright With dead unassuming eyes, Its life dwells only out of sight. Swallowing the blackness of the room It appears to writhe, silently shifting, A child's gaze on a rotting face Waits patiently for something It doesn't know, and absently scratches Deep gashes into its cheek.

Mirroring what's bright With dead unassuming eyes, Its life dwells only out of sight. Swallowing the blackness of the room It appears to writhe, silently shifting, A child's gaze on a rotting face Waits patiently for something It doesn't know, and absently scratches Deep gashes into its cheek.
