Branches
Curling above my head
Shadows shifting below
A darker fringe ahead
Lost in the woods of death
No birds, no beasts in here
Wandering aimlessly
Choking upon my fear
Can't scream for help
Silently walking alone
A path I have never seen
Waiting for voices to call
The quiet encompasses all
Shortness of breath snuffs me out
The ground has an undertow
And through it
I'm alone
In the darkest night
Leaves cover the light
My words reach no ears
Clouded by fear
In my afterlife
With my murky sight
Air won't touch my lungs
Caring is gone
Silently walking alone
A path I have never seen
Waiting for voices to call
The quiet encompasses all
Shortness of breath snuffs me out
The ground has an undertow
And through it
I'm alone
Where life and death collide
In a godless obstacle
I can't make a sound
I can't call for help
Where life and death collide
In a godless obstacle
I can't make a sound
I can't call for help
The darker fringe is where I belong
