In My Mind Like a Maze'''
Inside My Mind Like a Maze'''
Spinning around
tossing and turning
drifting away without a sound
Inside this mind is a maze...
There are doorways
unknown
I feel this pain inside
distant screams all
alone
pulling me further into the night
a doorway opens creaking
with silence
shivering with fright
not
knowing why
Inside this mind like a maze...
I hear a thought inside my head
deep
like a scar
the heart is bleeding
with doors ajar
I am unafraid
Inside my mind is a maze...
There
are things in the dark unseen
that crawl across the floor
leaving
bloodstains that cry like bad dreams
Inside this mind like a maze...
Loneliness
is like death waving goodbye
abandonment was his only friend
demons and fiends
crying in my sleep
I sigh
Inside my mind is a maze...
A guided path
whispering voices in the dead of night
tormenting
a child seeing red
with violent light holding the devil back
considering wrath instead
conflicts collide
Inside this mind like a maze...
Weeping
willows shedding tears
sharing secrets
in
the forest of fears
with
rivers smiling on crimson water
is a man gone insane
sutured eyes see for miles
the
reflection of his suffering from a pastlife
needles of gluttonous disdain
Inside my mind is a maze...
Another doorway opens with cackling charm
as
he enters with winds that are singing
there is no pain
once alight storming seas
with
misery waiting saying please
agony unalarmed
waves crashing against a shore so distant
swimming with thoughts repeating
in a cycle of despair
skeletal remains trembling in a closet
from what was once there
so much pain inside
like
the pendulum of suicide
of a dying way.
