All Chapters in the Series: Rattle the Bones


don’t turn away

don’t avoid their pain

don’t be afraid…

 

closets have their bones

tucked well away from sight

broken bits and pieces…

left cowering behind

scattered in the shadows

if not forgotten…then denied

but there are little ghosts remaining 

forced to hide their truth inside

you know what I’m saying?

 

broken dolls…

and damaged knights

left locked away in the dark

shattered spirits left behind 

unnoticed and unwanted…

years of unspoken secrets…

leaving them eternally haunted

 

crying creatures…dragging entrails

fearing beasts with rattling chains 

whispers heard through dusty corridors

where children hide in corners

too frightened to come play

where those who should be trusted

become monsters laying in wait

leaving little phantoms in the night…

while eerie playgrounds remain vacant…

abandoned by the light

 

little girl fairy tales…

slightly twisted 

cherished none-the-less 

remnants of a forgotten tea set

chipped cups with fractured saucers

ragged dolls and tattered dresses

fading dreams and dusty things

as time slips slowly…

down rusting slides

 

little girl fairy tales…

no longer trusted

by the time she finally understood…

no hero was coming to her rescue…

she’d already saved herself 

 

don’t turn away…
