Stone high statues rising to the stars,

    Dark blue walls matching.

    Archways rising high above my figure,

    The once solid concrete threatens to fall.

                                     .

    Tiles of grey and white,

    Patterns flash from dark and light.

    The moon approaches the sun,

    And it is dark once again.

                                   .

    The endless tiles walk into the dark,

    Where I cannot see past.

    A wall, a mark, somewhere on the other side,

    Or nothingness.

                                     .

    Hazel eyes scan the horizon,

    Waiting for the day to reappear.

    But it is gone forever,

    Until darkness fades.

                                    .

    Footsteps echo down the hard floor,

    Speaking to the walls.

    Is this a dream,

    Or is this a nightmare?

                                     .

    Beyond the doubt of my mind,

    I whisper the songs on the clear walls.

    They don't speak back to me,

    But I don't mind at all.

                                       .

    Quiet fills my mind,

    Misery builds from behind.

    I'm stuck in a tragedy,

    But there are no keys and no doors.

                                           .

    My choices have been taken,

    My love has failed.

    My heart has been ripped in two pieces,

    And my soul is in anothers body.

                                           .

    This life I live becomes a fork in the road,

    But I can't stear or take one for myself.

    And so I have ended up,

    Walking down this endless hallway.

                                              .

    Every step I take,

    Seems to get me further away.

    Everything becomes so small,

    And I am the giant in this world now.

                                                .

    A melody opens my ears,

    A sound so ungrateful it leers.

    I inhale the lullaby like the air,

    But I do not follow it.

                                                 .

    My feet bring me down,

    Down towards the end of the hallway.

    But there is no end,

    Just everlasting darkness.

                                                   .

    This melody that keeps to play,

    Is a requiem.

    The death before me opens its mouth,

    But I am not taken, for I am still here.

                                                      .

    This nightmare, this dream,

    Opens my eyes to things unseen.

    My mind grows tense,

    But my body calm.

                                                    .

    I am limpless and lifeless,

    Unable to control.

    This body I am in,

    Takes the lead.

                                                 .

    Dusty walkways,

    A tear falls from my eye.

    I can do nothing,

    Nothing to restrain.

                                                 .

    No matter how hard I try to let go,

    No matter how hard I try to get away,

    I'm stuck walking,

    Down this endless hallway.
