Labyrinth

Labyrinth 

Sandwiched between the gray walls
He moaned and groaned
The pain of losing a friend was horrendous
Shadows moved past his eyes
Just like in the movies

Same wall, like shadows
Time stood still
The everlasting sorrow
The endless pain

He looked back
Nothing changed-
Except the intensifying pain
and … the shape of the shadows
He run
But he was trapped in the countless paths 
For eons

He paused to get a new breath of fresh air 
But just for a second!
He heard the noises 
And started to run ...
