Woods of Lone

Its a long road when your all alone Traveling through the dark no signs of light The demon pulls me off the trail the road disappears from underneath me I allowed myself to turn away from the good now I wander through the forest of solitude Thorns dig into my hands as I reach out ahead Ripping the skin and burning the flesh The ground trembles as I travel farther Farther into the thickets filled with sorrow Voices scream all around me, Their cries I cant make out I feel what they feel deep inside The ball begins to tighten pulling vigorously at my heart The demon flees from inside me afraid to continue as I go deeper Suddenly now im frozen I cant hardly breath The trees show their true form frowning upon my dark soul angry snarls fade to silence as they slowly part above me a Pale light now appears in the middle of the dark No sky no stars no clouds just the moon He speaks and calls me a fool then turns his back to me and disappears into nothing The trees once again peering into me I feel their arms reaching for me still frozen in place As they get closer I feel the brush on my cheek The ground opens and swallows me now a smile on his face
