The Labyrinth

She was an Enchanted melody echoing off the hillside
A fiery storm brewing in the distance
But Like waves push at the sand, eroding the shoreline
So did the days and years crash into her soul
So she wandered a Labyrinth constructed by pain
On a constant search for her spark that always ended in vain
Entranced by a demon disguised as a friend
Deeper into the maze she would gradually descend
Until at last she dares to explore
And begins to believe she is destined for more
The labyrinth she sees was not meant to confine but rather a place to leave her troubles behind
The veil very slowly lifts to reveal,
no friend by her side but a beast concealed
Reality slowly overtakes the illusion
And removes the layers built by years of confusion
With each chip that falls a sliver of light glistens against the Labyrinth walls
The gentle kiss of the moon she thinks it must be, yet though she looks no moon can she see
As chip upon chip breaks off and falls
The light leads the way out of the labyrinth walls
She emerges alone with no beast by her side
At ease for once knowing, she’s left it inside
That light that guided her out of the maze had been and would be with her, always
