My body's drawn to the treeline. The leaves shield me from the moon's cold gaze. Ashen figures guide me along. Somber spirits in an endless maze.

I'm free: Free to roam the woods. I'm bound here by my unspoken thoughts.

No tomb-

There will be no gravestone, let the leaves bury my lifeless body. I diverge into this silent forest, where each tree is a sarcophagus. In a past life, a chasm had opened up inside of me, and left all happiness with futile dreams. I now find refuge in the tranquil silver light reflecting off the pale trees. I walk with solemn ghosts, and they reach out to hold my hand.

I thought if I could walk among the dead oak, I would finally be at peace. But finding solace isn't easy when I can see the specters beyond the pale trees.

I've tried so hard to flee my silhouette.
I'm caught forever in fear and regret.

Hear the wind, I'm caving in.

I can
see bony fingers stretch out,
overhead through the gaps I can see the unfamiliar,
burning sky matching my mind blow by blow
the sadness keeps me here but bound by remorse.
I've gathered up too much shame and now I can't quit reality.
My mind begins to sever the ties.

My bones crumble beneath the weight of a thousand guilts.
Oh God, I'm bleeding out under the wreckage. Get help.

I thought I would walk these woods for days. I lost the beat of my dead heart in Dead Oak. I don't know how it got this way.
