A Fish Without Water
By raspberry89
This house doesn't need ghosts to scare anyone
The walls take sanity for fun
They'll hex you with whispers in tongue
Arrive with confidence, you'll leave with none
The longer you stay, the further undone
The air stifles, it thickens and numbs
It weighs down on you like tons
Constricting every cell, it stuns
Skeletons in these closets tote guns
Heat comes at you like fire from dragons
I mean heat like the fury of a thousand suns
Your mind weakens and maddens
This house kills souls like it's a soul assassin
A suffering only the wicked can fathom

That would be a cool place to visit, but I sure wouldn't want to die there! The rhyme scheme flowed so well I couldn't wait to read each subsequent line! Loved it, I must read more of your work....

Really like this! Especially that last line, something sinister about it that I can relate to in several ways. Excellent work.
