Running through a maze of murder,
unable to find my way.
Danger lurking around every corner,
canvassed by a sky of gray.
A flash of lightning ignites the air
then all fades back to black.
My fingers graze the dampened walls;
Blinded, I can't turn back.
A dead-end finds me, black as night;
I'm drenched in soot and sin.
No way forward—left or right
crazed by the voices within.
The rain thickens, oozing down.
Empty lungs search for air;
Smothered, covered, I'm suffocating
in this labyrinth of dreary despair.
Another flash: a yellow veil;
Raining blistering blue.
Out of the darkness, your face revealed.
Grasped tightly, I can't move.
I drown slowly, staring at you.
