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.
