Bedsheets

 


Moonlight draped streets,

remind of those crumpled sheets.

Where we lay that last time,

that last night of our lives.

Now we amble along this world in the haze,

flittering in and out of people's gaze.

Recycling the night when death came to call,

repeating the process that caused us to fall.

 

It was frightfully cold,

as far as I can recall.

So, on that fateful eve,

we retired to bed.

A candle we did leave.

Flames tore at the room,

hungry they consumed

every scrap, every shred,

as we lay asleep in our bed.

 

We never see sunlight,

only the darkness of night.

We wander these rooms in silent anguish,

before the rise of dawn where we simply vanish.

Until the night falls,

when the cycle repeats

and we walk these halls

hand in hand

to the sound of scared shrieks

and that all too familiar smell

of those scorched bedsheets.

 

 

Thanks for reading

Peace, Love and Poetry
