The Dark Woods

Something I just came up with.

I was walking along the empty streets

and subsections of my mind.

It was 3 a.m. when I stopped to think

and a passage did I find.

This winded down the darkest woods

As it got further away, it got thick.

I pondered whether or not to follow

The voice that said "Come quick!"

I told myself to walk away

Something inside didn't feel right.

The voice had come from behind a wall

Just behind that was a light.

My feet did not listen to me

and decided to move forward.

There was nothing I could do or say

Something was drawing me toward.

A burning light that seared through night 

and opened up the darkness. 

Then a terrible smell grew thick from hell,

The smell of a rotting carcass.

I tried to force myself to turn away

The voice said "Don't stop, come a little closer."

When i got to the wall my heart started to fall

As I realized it was my own corpse there.
