Noises in the night

So many voices were heard within
that room of fears and souls.
A nightmare of a place to be
with nakedness and cold.

She cringed beneath her nothingness
a sob escaped her throat.
For with her in that room of sin
was something that loved to gloat.

And so it did gloat over her
that skin of hers so pale.
Her angel locks of golden sun
now filthy with this tale.

The only thing that she could claim
rightfully hers at all,
was the truth and her great shame
the thing that made her feel so small.

From the black walls of her small prison
serpents would slither out.
To great her with a kiss by tooth,
and how they loved to clout.

She wanted no such kiss from them
that sneak up in the night.
What could she do to save herself
from this, her greatest plight?

She could not bite them back you see
she had no poisonous teeth.
To use against such vile things
and bite them, thus to greet.

A shriek was heard but not the girl’s.
She whimpered in such distress.
To here voices come within her realm
and still feel such vast loneliness.

And then she heard what she thought she wouldn’t
the sound of her mothers tears.
And so she woke with such a start
she felt she had been asleep for years!

“Oh mother!” cried she with such lament
her eyes so red with fear.
She thought it all the truth of life
all of that pain and drear.

But it wasn’t and she smiled so
you never would imagine
that look on that sweet face of hers
like the nightmare never happened!

“I’ve lied to you, oh mother dear!
though I promised I never would!
I’ve done a thing you would not like
nor thought I ever could!

For see you now
I am not an angel flying in the sky
I’m but a girl with faults and flaws
and one day I will die.

But when that day does slither forth
I will not be afraid
nor will I fear of hells abyss
since my debt will be repaid.”
