• The house watched,
    The lamp watched,
    And so did the clock on the mantle.
    Everything in the house saw it, even the candles.
    They saw the look in his eyes when he finally cracked.
    He lost his temper and that was that.
    They watched him chase her and hunt her down,
    And in the end she was never found.
    They all watch her heinously,
    And now they are all scarred for eternity.
    They all hold her soul within their keep.
    Forever bonded to these earthly things,
    Eternally she shall weep.
