The Wall of Memories
staring into the abyss, i heard some voices gentle
so i wandered into the forest, to follow those voices
followed the stairs that led
deeper
and
deeper
but my investigation brought me to a halt
the voices turned into screams and screams into howls
and suddenly the dark clouds obscured my eyes
saw a mammoth wall painted in murals
in red, with memories and faces of people
a sudden pour of rain brought them to life
and they began to chase me to tear me
piece
by
piece
in the disbelief i closed my eyes
to make sense of what i had just seen
the light was ahead but far from the reach
suddenly all echoes disappeared in the haze
stuck in a maze,
a cycle of repetitive events
wish it was just a flicker
but this feeling is chained around my neck
