Labrynth,
thy walls of height.
Tower over me,
constricting sight.
In spite
of myself
I call for help;
I've wandered
for so many days
in such a daze
and now I laze
in hazy maze of crazed
decaying
matter of plant
and flesh alike,
feeling as though
my own life
it being syphoned
as through python;
slow, intolerable.
I shake and shake
unbarable snake
on board
imploring
spare me,
for sake of life,
not daring to take
thoughts of sparing me safe
seriously.
No,
deliriously.
It suits it all better.
All the while
towering above
the brocade I seek
the treasure I speak of
to get me to sleep.
Weeks, months years
have passed.
I unware of how I could last.
I wandered the path.
I'll finish as I started:
mindset afresh
renewed each day;
decaying flesh
marking my way.
I know I'll get there
despite what they say.
I won't expire here,
I won't go that way.
The heat sears above
burning into me.
It's harder to see,
it's harder to breath.
I won't go .. that way;
I won't...
go...
that......
uhn...

spiralling down,
down into the dark haze,
i have been through this maze.
walked through it's halls
and etched on it's walls.
it is the home
for my mind to roam,
where for others it's their doom.
nice to have some company.
