They’re Back

Skeletons In The Closet

Angry stares and violent whispers.

Blood dripping down my fingertips.

The voices in the walls are back again.

Footsteps running down the hallway.

There are skeletons in the closet.

They’re banging on the door.

The secrets are hiding beneath the floorboards.

They’re getting harder to ignore.

The lies are beginning to overflow.

The monsters are crawling out from underneath the bed.

A never ending nightmare has begun.

Take one last look at the life you had.

The peace is forever gone.

The time for rest has come to an end.

This is the end of everything you once knew.
