THE NO ONE: A RHYME

image

SOMEWHERE THERE’S A dripping

Somewhere there’s a sigh

Someone told me come here

No one told me why

Upstairs there’s a scratching

Of nails against the floor

Upstairs there’s a weeping

The trying of a door

Downstairs there’s a cellar

Downstairs there’s a voice

Muttering of sins and deeds

And how it had no choice

Outside there is nothing

Outside’s already gone

Inside I am waiting

Inside I am wrong

In here there is darkness

In which I know I’ll die

In here I’m the no one

Who wouldn’t tell me why
