The Cellar

 


 

It was dark in the cellar.  No light to fume the room.  To show the dancing fairy dust fluttering around.  The scent of decaying walls could be felt against his back.  As his spine tightened in towards it.  Eyes trying to fix on any glimmer of light of hope.  He could hear nothing deep down in the darkness.  All to keep him company was his memories.  These thoughts flooded the loneliness of those hours.  His knees held tightly to his tummy like a child.  Summer scents sunshine fields dancing away a beer in his hand.  Then bang the darkness fell again.  Flooding his eyes with tears.  That was the day his eyes never seen the light of day again.  The crash had taken everything.  His wife and son and his eyesight.  His lungs still moved his heart still beating.  His heart to empty so alone.  His world in darkness.  The salted tears ripped through his skin like the metal in the car did all those years before. 

 

Where are they now?  What am I to do in this darkened cellar that I live in?  My voice is the only one i hear.  I wish I could see them one last time.  I hate these chains around my eyes.
