Show you a deeper well

words echo through your personal hell

but never quite catch your ears

in that strange link between eyes

and that which is real

the fears

think about why the tears fall

when all you do is crawl

instead of standing tall

and feeling numb and feeling dull

in the impossible, door holding the unknowable

fire emergency escape

quiet heart beat echo and dark hall

no shadow figures haunt here

except that which you cast on your own.

You will experience about half

of what this fleeting experience

has to offer

you will start figuring out

and then you will be casted out of bounds

of the physical and the meta

hunted by the hounds

rigged game and dark past, dear friend, you’ve been set up

and the ultimate truth looms over you

one I could tell, but my brother, my sister, know well

the stuff of ghost stories lies in knowing yourself

shadow of the flame that looms all the same

and doesn’t quite let up

I offer you but one final stand

finish what you started

and then try to lay easy with the thoughts in your head.
