The door is locked.
Your soul is stained and scarred,
staring with envy at the bright white of mine.
My soul shudders, shakes with fear,
because I was just supposed to be in and out.
I was never meant to stay,
you know.
I was never supposed to stay.
Just a quick visit,
then back home,
but the door is locked,
and evil is evolving before my eyes,
prising the purity from my cold, almost dead fingers.
You weren’t even supposed to notice I was here,
but now your lens is red,
and I am headed somewhere horrid,
with bloody handprints all over me.
Never happy,
never meant to be,
but never given the opportunity,
to tread a different path,
because this was always where I was going.
I was never supposed to stay.
Just a quick visit, and I’d be on my way,
but I’m still here,
covered in blood,
soul, stained and scarred,
eyes, glassy and gone.
