Secrets to the Grave
Little face that hides a story
Of hidden lies and little glory
Secrets forced behind a smile
House of terror misguided child
One hundred years of the house that speaks
Demon and devils roam while they sleep
But no one believes him and that is why they stay
Secrets he keeps, he will take to his grave.
About this poem
This is more of a dark side poem, a horror story. A child's experience of what he sees, and the secrets he must keep. It is also a true story.
