Her footsteps were as light as could be as she ran across the void, glowing in the cloudless night as far as the eye could see. She stopped slowly, eyes wide with realization, She could be free. So, she stood, head held high; Shoulders stiff, holding the weight of the sky, as she faced her labyrinth of pain. Of lies and suffering. Of utter agony. She let not one tear fall as she walked on, determined to flee from the place she had once called her safe haven. They never did see her again. She disappeared without a trace. Lost inside her own mind, they said. Oh well, She was one of many they had to pull the plug on. She wouldn’t notice it anyway. They never did.

Oh, Labyrinth of Mine
When I was falling apart, You fixed my broken heart. When I had the blade to my skin, you loved and let me in. I would've take a bullet for you... but you were the one pulling the trigger. You held the gun, not knowing I was the one. Your touch brought me happiness, But my touch brought you pain. But after all the madness, you were the sunshine in my rain. But you realized that you still loved me, even after the war. I was the one drowning but you brought me back to shore. You saved me. I saved you. Being each others life support, is what pulled us through..

Life Support
She's journeying they say; Journeying. They're too scared of the word To simply say 'dying' But it is all too clear. I'm sure she knows, Just us well as they, Even though her mind is such a muddle. She doesn't eat Or leave her bed And a machine outside her door pumps air into her lungs for her. When you try to talk to her You get lifeless eyes, As if she's already died But her body kept on breathing. Everyone can see it. They stop what they are doing To look into her room, But they never stay for long Even with all the curiosity in the world It's not something you really want to witness. The terribly slow fading of a life.
