Sparkling light sears into me
I am alone in this labyrinthine
I walk with my shadow in this hollowness
Would you slay me? Heal my scars?
Your soul is as deep as the ocean itself
Make me lose in your depth
Frozen memories are all that are left behind
When you woke up and hid yourself in the jungle of your ambitions
Do you hear the wolves howl like I do?
They are coming for you
Your face vividly shines in my mind’s eye
And sometimes, your face is but a haze chasing me
The remains of a ghost from my past clutching at me tight
What I’d give to be free from your grip
And into the dreamscape that will take me to my path unknown
