Elevator of Shadows

In the shadows of the mind,

Where echoes linger on,

A heartbeat quickens, a moment stalls,

As the world keeps moving on.

Step inside, the elevator hums,

Walls are closing in, my heartbeat drums.

The weight of silence, a heavy shroud,

Fighting demons in a restless crowd.

I'm gripping tight, but the fear won’t cease,

Anxiety wraps me in its lease.

Oh, the whispers of the past, they're clawing at my skin,

Each pulse a reminder of where I've been.

Oh Dee, my knight in shining light,

Reach your hand through the endless night.

With your photograph, I find my ground,

In a world that feels so tightly bound.

Your words like a balm to a wounded soul,

In this cage, your love makes me whole.

Up two floors, but it feels like miles,

Trapped in my thoughts, I'm lost in denial.

The blade of the past, it haunts my skin,

Yet I hold onto hope, that's where I begin.

Counting the seconds, I'm fighting the tide,

Breath by breath, I try to abide.

But oh, the tension builds, it's thick in the air,

With each heartbeat’s echo, I fight my despair.

Oh Dee, my knight in shining light,

Reach your hand through the endless night.

With your photograph, I find my ground,

In a world that feels so tightly bound.

Your words like a balm to a wounded soul,

In this cage, your love makes me whole.

And when I feel the darkness,

Creeping close again,

I’ll hold your memories tight,

Like a whisper on the wind.

Through the fear, I’ll rise, I’ll break the chains,

With your light beside me, I’ll face the pain.

So here’s to the battles, and the struggles we own,

With a heart that’s battered, we’re never alone.

Oh Dee, my armor, together we’ll stand,

Facing down the shadows, hand in trembling hand.
