Chapter 15: labyrinth of my mind

bloodredroses | poetryWords: 1487

hidden reasons for our next steps

so far,

following footprints,

tracing something greater

inside this labyrinth,

there's no end to it.

shouldn't have gone left so many times,

I'm at the end of your street now,

to betray equals disgrace and decay.

parting ways much too often lately,

this labyrinth has it in it:

reliability doesn't come easily...

sun sets,

it's getting comfortable walking alone.

diving into poetry,

staying up on nights,

ditching sleep for melancholy.

turning tragedy into art,

endless pages in my diary -

keep my books across my room

I could build my own library.

you've vanished from my pages,

for a mile or two now,

my hand-writing doesn't know how

to spell out your name anymore.

watching ink as it dissolves

blurring out the lines,

salty liquid, a single tear I cried.

walking in this labyrinth,

only with the closets friends by today.

we're tripping over sticks and stones,

our knees scarred and bleeding.

out of breath, we're on a hunt,

on a trip, to the deepest depths of our thoughts.

I think in a way we're just the same:

with a mind so entangled

that it's almost like

- a labyrinth!

okay, so this is probably some of the most personal stuff I've ever written... but bringing these thoughts to paper/reality felt kind of so important. there's a lot in this poem that lies between the lines and everything, but I'll leave these things up to your interpretation. ;) I really hope you liked this one  & thank you so so much for reading! <333
