Hello Stranger

by Jessica   Sep 7, 2008


A stranger sits on my bed
entranced in a gloomy spell
dwelling in his lonely state
his own personal hell

Translucent limbs and pale light
emanates from within
an expression conveys nothing at all
when you've endured a wrath of sin

Repetitive daily rituals
for an apathetic dutiful soul
destined to a life of grief
to play his submissive role

Ghoul, specter, apparition
call him what you may
he's a stranger in my house
a stranger left to stay.
