A Sobbing

Today I cried and cried a lot

As demons and ghosts I fought

In a very shrouded spot

Between specters surrounding

The founding, of an ugly rot

A little child in the forest

Naked, and appearing gentle

My tears formed an ugly chorus

And ghouls brought near to settle

Their stares their glares everywhere

I could not see them or feel 'em

But I swear to god they smelled

My air their stench was stealing

With a familiar smell of hell

On my tree stump I stayed a sitting

And to them my sorrow admitting,

I'm sure I made 'em cry as much

When I told them an evil tale

About my very own bad luck

I could feel their skin go pale

Their vanishing squeals of death

Lingered in to hear, my gloom breaths

A chorus

Melodic ghastly harmony

In the forest ghouls crying

They were crying, crying for me

And I half-not- so happy

Told them my tales of travesty

And when the night began to rise

I did not see them with my eyes

Dark it stayed, but gone they were

And nowhere near being sure

That this this had ever occured.

I wiped my eyelids

That lack of eyes

Looking back at the forest

Cut my throat, As I waved goodbye..

But I found out very soon

That you stay where you die

This forest is replete of gloom

I can now see it, with my eyes

Every bush and ghost and tree

Accompanies me, in my doom

A chorus

Melodic ghastly harmony

In the forest ghouls crying

They were crying, crying for me

And I half-not- so happy

Told them my tales of travesty

Crying with them all night long

Talking about, what in life I had seen

Why I cut my eyes 'n throat all along

Yes crying, for nights, the same songs

The ghosts sobbing, there with me.
