Walks

My mind wanders away with me 

Seemingly inconspicuous 

While holding me in a death grip 

So tight it leaves marks on my skin 

Sometimes dripping with blood 

Other times only half moons remain 

Red like a blood moon 

An ill sign of the time to come 

Because it walks me down dark paths

Once overgrown 

It's now a clear path ahead 

Deeper and deeper into the inky black 

Until I can't see a way out anymore 

The tendrils of my mind hold on tighter 

As I cling to it for guidance 

It whispers to me that soon this will end 

If I just surrender myself to it

A wave of relief washes over me 

I've been walking for so long 

I can't do this anymore 

In front of me I can sense the void 

Just one more step my mind whispers 

And you won't have to wander any longer 

Only one more step

And all of this will end 

One more step 

And I can finally stop walking
