A tomb within the walls.
Screams of terror,
echoing through the walls.
Heavy chains clang,
and she endlessly sobs.
`
She shouts and weeps.
The castle remains deaf.
As night engulfs,
she mourns in great anguish.
`
More and more groans.
Grand voice becomes hoarse.
She stifles a cackle,
as dying hopes prevail.
`
Horrible fate,
merciless verdict.
Death within walls.
Her real nightmare gnaws.
`
Soon, mere scrapings,
no hints of cries within.
Handsome maiden,
into a rotting flesh.
`
A living corpse,
between the lonesome walls.
In dark solace,
forever, she will dwell.
`
Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe – great, great master of mystery and macabre.
