The house in your dreams

by mikaylar   Nov 3, 2021


The morning is dawning as we sit here in the dark
And if you listen closely there's the noises of the park.
The voices in the shadows telling you to run the playground of your memories in adulthood is not fun.
Your walking back to my house and as your passing by you see the next door neighbor as she begins to cry.
You ignore her silent plea as she falls down to her knees and enter through the back door of the house that haunts your dreams.
The red cover of the couch stained with gasoline the staircase that is warping the kitchen never clean.
The space here looks abandoned but that is not the case as you climb the stairs your heart begins to race.
Your mother she is screaming and and you hear an awful crack. As he notices your presence you take a few steps back.
Hes yelling in your face now and you have no idea why your instinct turns to anger and you begin to cry, your emotions start to flare. You yell out to your mother please tell him to stop ." You hear her sobbing quietly and as the floor boards creak. You sneak out of your window and up onto the peak.  Inside the chaos unfolds and you hear the whole damn thing. The floor boards breaking underneath and the muffled shouting in between.
The holes in the hallway where caused by the furniture as they where thrown down the stairs and when the entry there was blocked the boards gave way to new entry spots.  down whent the jewlary And an expensive flower pot.
And now you all will know that yeah. I've been through alot The upstairs lights where still on as we all drove away the man who destroyed the house? I havent seen him to this day.

    The writer did an amazing job of scene setting, I felt an ominous force in their words. The rhyme scheme is done very well and engaged me more, and the piece ended in a spectacularly descriptive trauma. I think the writer put in a lot of emotion and I found it gripping.
