This house doesn't need ghosts to scare anyone <br />The walls take sanity for fun <br />They'll hex you with whispers in tongue <br />Arrive with confidence you'll leave with none <br />The longer you stay, the further undone <br />The air stifles, it thickens and numbs <br />It weighs down on you like tons <br />Constricting every cell, it stuns <br />Skeletons in these closets tote guns <br />Heat comes at you like fire from dragons <br />I mean heat like the fury of a billion suns <br />Your mind weakens and maddens <br />This house kills souls like it's a soul assassin <br />A suffering only the wicked can fathom<br /><br />Leila Hadi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fish-without-water/
