185. The Ghostly Pianist Poem by Jaden Knight

Hidden in a secret room
with dirty white walls
behind a bookcase in the manor
surrounded by dust covered furniture
stands a white grand piano and chair

The paint on one sides is peeling
revealing solid oak underneath
but not there is no dust on the top
and the worn keys still hold their shine

Every night at midnight
a ghostly woman appears in the room
clothed in a flowery dress
weeping silently
she sits in front of the piano
and begins to play

As she plays the room changes
the dust vanishes and the room is lit up
all the paint becomes
and the bookcases disappear

She was sealed in the room to die
by her mother many years before
for loving the wrong person
now she plays the piano every night
until her love releases her from her prison

At six am she will fade away
and the room becomes dirty again
she will come back again at midnight
until her true love finds her
then they can be together again

No longer would she haunt the hidden room
and play music that nobody hears
she would be so happy
as long as they were together
