It was that day
that sealed my fate.
I took a step through the gate
and walked forward.
Now, I find myself lost,
trapped
staring at the sky
where life could have led me.
And I cannot find my way out
of this dark maze.
If I look past the jumpscares
of every dead end
I would find inside these walls
the memories
of someone I never knew.
Thousands of restless spirits
shout a name through the night,
a name I cannot place
and never will.
Every turn
every time I backtrack
there is no end.
I stepped here
thinking there would be a finish line
but there is not.
So every night I lie down to sleep
in tortured breaths and glossy eyes
never knowing
that the name you shriek, and sob,
to the sky at dawn
is mine.
