Dispel

I sit here,
in the hall, keeping the desk company.
He doesn't talk much, but he can keep a secret.
I sit here,
most of the time in the dark,
because they're never home.
In times of joy,
they pull my chain.
And I reveal things for what they really are.
Spilling only golden truths on the walls and on the carpet.
Then they go away again, for a long time.
leaving me alone in the dark.
So I started a fire.
Now they keep me in the smallest closet in the hall, and i'm so tired.
I couldn't even speak a truth if i tried.
So I sit here . . .
