I long to retire Into the Woods that you once feared The woods--they claimed to be filled with danger "My dear, once you enter the Woods, it'll never leave you" I long for the Woods That seems to be my only companion Where the roots cling to you slowly, pulling you towards it Never letting you go, always with you I long for peace In the Woods that controlled my being Held my arms and feet to its whim-- A puppet of a tired soul I am alone in the Woods I screamed for help in futile attempt, fully-knowing That no one can salvage me This is the Woods they warned you about.

The Woods
I long to retire Into the Woods that you once feared The woods--they claimed to be filled with danger "My dear, once you enter the Woods, it'll never leave you" I long for the Woods That seems to be my only companion Where the roots cling to you slowly, pulling you towards it Never letting you go, always with you I long for peace In the Woods that controlled my being Held my arms and feet to its whim-- A puppet of a tired soul I am alone in the Woods I screamed for help in futile attempt, fully-knowing That no one can salvage me This is the Woods they warned you about.
