The Maze

Walking wearily through mists of ebony

Dredging through pools of ivory shadows

Heat rises from the blood and the wounds

The sun sets behind all illusions of hope

Memories follow and then go as if ghosts

Until the path buckles and turns on itself

No forks in the road, no decisions to make

Just a cold corridor without direction or light



You fight off dreams, their voices unclear

Searching for music somewhere far away

Tripping and falling, forever again

Crying and swaddled in blankets of sludge

Trapped in a world that you sank into slow

Invisible to those who once knew your name

Dismissed as quickly by those you may pass

Handfuls of delusions slide down your throat



You plead for a hand, any warm hand to grab

And pull you out from the destruction and fear

Instead all you find is repulsion reflected in eyes

Of dismissal and whispers in sounds of mistrust

You sink past the bottom you thought you were at

And gag on the sanity you once held on to tight

No more demons, angels voices or music around

Only you, in a world shut down, Lost in the maze

I love your poems especially this one. It describes exactly how I feel. If you want you can look up mine but compared to yours mine don't look very good.
