The Keeper House

The Keeper House Footsteps whisper on the cold stone floor Shadows stretch like secrets from a door Every creak’s a tale Every draft’s a sigh A house remembers Though the years go by Dust on the mirror It blurs the view But it still reflects the ghost of you Echoes in the hall They call my name Walls that breathe They never play the same I chase the whispers But they fade too fast Lost in the present Still haunted by the past A clock that ticks but never moves ahead Time’s a circle And the moments thread The wind hums low through the broken pane A lullaby sung by the sound of rain Is it you Or is it just my mind Rewinding the tape I can’t leave behind The house it hums It groans It weeps It guards the memories that it keeps Echoes in the hall They call my name Walls that breathe They never play the same I chase the whispers But they fade too fast Lost in the present Still haunted by the past
