The Creature From the Blackened Room

she never played the part

of the happy girl

there's no depth in that

she'd explain

living by the moon

and what is felt

not seen

and most importantly

the mood

and no one

understands

how could anyone

understand

her

the creature from the blackened room

i found the creature's smile

in my box this year

many human friends

she explains

living by the sun

and what is seen

not felt

and not to fall into

that mood

and someone

understands

now someone

understands

but in some room

darkened by a cloud

of it's own design

a creature sits in depth

understanding every word

she ever said

but a thousand words too late

and a million miles away

and no one

understands

how could anyone

understand

the creature from the blackened room

we are

creatures from blackened rooms
