"Crazy House"

Between night and day,they did nothing

they stood like statues in the moon lit garden

not saying a word to each other.

 

They look forward,but not toward the future

they look in the past,at what had gone wrong

they have been here for three days.

 

They have not eaten

they have not had a drink of water

they do not even bathe.

 

For they have been broken inside

so they stand here for the day 

someone will notice that they are there.

 

They are lonely

but they dare not move an inch

for fear of breaking into pieces

and no way to go back.

 

For they have no one

they are broken

Can you fix them?

If you care you will come and help

Fix them of their broken spirit.
