Cellar Door
The cellar door you left open,
Held the lock you had broken
The Pain you had hidden
Was down the unlit stairs
Step by step I had fallen
My footsteps where like crawling
Time went by so slow
I couldnt seem to bear
As I went to step again,
I realized it was the end
I waited for my eyes to adjust
But only darkness sunk in.
I called your name
It broke through the still air
I heard a response
No, just my echo
I walked blindly through the cold
I was searching for your soul
Because it held mine
Because you are mine.
I reached out to feel a touch
But only air was in reach of such
My worry grew more
My footsteps grew louder
I called your name
It broke through still air
I heard a response
No, just my echo
I heard a loud crash
Somewhere from the back
I abruptly turned around
As I headed for the stairs
I crawled up the steps
Each one caught my breath
I looked toward the light
So dim, yet so bright
I screamed your name
It broke through still air
I heard a response
No, just a my echo
As I finally reached the top
The cellar door was locked
I pushed with all my might
My pushing grew to fight
I cried your name
It broke through the still air
I heard a response
No, just my echo
I couldnt breath
Where could you be?
Where am I
What am I?
I felt a gentle tap
Chills ran up my back
I turned around and saw you
As i saw me.
I reached out to touch your face
But I just hit glass
You turned silver,
Spread unto a wall.
I blinked and you were gone
I was gone
I stared into a mirror
And glared at the familiar stranger
The celler door was closed and locked
Was I ever inside?
And if you were never here,
Then who and what was I?
I cried your name
It broke through the still glass
I saw a response
No, just a reflection.
