Adam Chamber

In Adam Chamber's

ghastly chamber

locked away

a little young maiden.

 

Screams and screams

once more

to top the rule.

No more.

 

A squealing floor;

it might be Chamber

at the door.

Waiting, forever more.

 

Steps now hasten,

a sudden stop!

"Stop screaming",

a voice from a fog.

 

She hears the keys

in the lock; a click.

Mean grunting,

while it flicks.

 

The door now open

and darkness follows.

On the wall

now only a shadow

 

is what remains

of the little young maiden.
