I’ve ventured too deep
Within myself
Without hope of return
From chambers better left
Unopened
Trapped in purgatory
Where the sillage of rot
Traipses the dark stillness
As heavy clouds
Mournful shadows wafting
Above bare bones and decay
Slain ideas
Gutted thoughts
And strangled memories
Spread before me
In senseless carnage
Provoking a cry for justice
To crucify the vile intruder
But innocence bleeds from my fingers
Guilty stains marking me
As the murderer
Of my own creativity
