In a cloudy room without a bed
Without legroom; without a place to rest my head
The dresser is a nightstand, a chair, whatever it can withstand
The floorboards are starting to cave in
Why am I here?
Out of desperation
I need to feel eternal damnation
This is not a home, just a room
There are no neighbors, just the smell of fumes
No need to clean, the witch stole my broom
The air is cold because darkness will be here soon
That is when IT resumes
IT will beg me to let it stretch its legs
I will stay until IT is on its last beg
IT will say, “Can I come out and play?!”
I’ll reply with, “No, every time you do I’M the one that has to pay!”
This will go on until I am blue in the face
IT will carefully watch all my mistakes
IT will watch me drift off to sleep
While IT creeps out happily
