There is a house that sits high on a hill, downtown Shrubbery and vines are the open arms that welcome anyone who passes And when they do, they're always sent away with cold bones and blood A fitting departure package
No one knows exactly what went on in that house Tales of violence, ****, lies and unholy rituals plague the stories But there is no record, no way of knowing for sure A crimson question-mark
Forever, it seems, the house will sit ominously on that hill Eyes and ears, always curious, will direct themselves to it Curiousity kills, so they say, but one day someone will be brave enough A stupid someone
When that poor soul decides they're ready to step inside After years or so of morbid fascination and research that amounts to seemingly nothing They will open the door and close it behind them And no one will ever see them again
I've been a huge fan of the F/X show *American Horror Story* since pretty much it's inception. I've recently become re-obsessed with it (the new season just might be better than the first, which is saying a **lot**) and I just received the first season as an early Xmas gift. This poem was inspired by the first season of the show.
