In a world of shadows, where the sun won’t dare,
I sit alone on the creaking chair.
A haunted house, its whispers loud,
Yet silence is my only shroud.
The walls breathe tales of despair and dread,
Echoes of footsteps from the long-since dead.
The air, a chill, like a ghost’s faint sigh,
The darkness my partner, no stars in the sky.
Pitch black speaks, though words are few,
Its voice a void, yet hauntingly true.
"Fear not the night; it's where truths reside,
In the folds of silence where secrets hide."
I cling to the dark, my solemn muse,
In its endless depths, my thoughts diffuse.
Alone, yet not; its cold embrace
Holds me steady in this forsaken place.
Life in a dark world, a shadowed art,
Where even fear finds its way to the heart.
And on this stair, I’ll forever remain,
Bound to the darkness, my constant chain.
