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

He stood and run
One door led to another and to another

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 ...

Fear and flight seem to myself to be natural reactions to loss....pain induced. Enjoyed your poem and it's rawness..very relatable
