My heart is dead
no, I don’t have one at all
every time I start to feel something
my mind constructs a new wall
No one can break through it
but so many have tried
and the closest voyager
may nearly have died
Poison soaks the bricks
like a rabid dog’s mouth
the uncontrollable leaking
kills many without a sound
If they passes the wall
and do not fall ill in return
the next obstacle will surely
end with them burned
A 10ft wall of flames
threatens those near with claws
reaching closer and closer
and scorching them raw
If those flames were extinguished
for a split second of distraction
they could trek one step closer
to the main attraction
After poison and flames
fail to protect my castle
the final test must work
to prevent total disaster
Cerulean seas splash against wood
and spans across the land like a highway
within the depths of the waters
lie the souls of the wounded that can’t fly away
Bones and shattered hearts
line the base of my security
with a step into the water
the next will be history
And yet only one has
made it to the center
Only one lover
could truly understand the endeavor
But, alas, as expected
she perished as well
A ***** trap triggered suddenly
launched her far out of my hell
So here I sit
Upon my throne
Safe from my feelings
But all alone
