You and the Talking Walls
on the walls are shadows
that move within the night
they hear everything that happens
and cover any light.
if you're walking by the wall
and whispers follow you
you'll know the walls are listening
they talk back to you, too.
the bits you kept as secrets
from your precious mom and dad
are screaming from those shadows
and you should feel bad.
your sisters and your brothers
will suffer when you're gone
but the things the walls have talked about
will continue on and on.
make sure you have no sad regrets
and have a frabjous day
just hold your hands upon your ears
it's only lies, they say.
