UNDERGROUND


I live underground
a thousand miles from home.
The dark smothers the sun.
I guess I could use some.

I crawl these dirty galleries,
this homelike maze I made.
But how did I end up here?
Memories begin to fade.

I scream with fear and agony.
"Can someone please let me out!?"
But there's noone who can hear me.
It's a nonexisting shout.

I dig my way through earth,
but up and down lost their way.
I guess you could say,
I already in ashes lay.

I sense some bones, a rotten corpse.
What joy when I at last found her!
I embrace the corpse, and finally give in.
A gesture of resignation, I cannot win.
