Deepest Darkest

deepest darkest keeps calling

invites only me

every second beat is terror

i still rsvp


am i the dragon

or am i the gold

am i the buyer

or have i been sold


are you the rabbit

or are you the hat

did you leave quickly

or simply crash splat


is that the cash

or is it the thug

could you be the needle

and i be the drug


my broken wing

beats your hidden snare

your empty socket

trumps my empty stare


beware the captive

set free the guard

are these fresh breadcrumbs

or bones in the yard


i rush through the maze

despite what i see

the night wont stop screaming

or maybe that’s me

Love this Jen, it's got the ability to 'hook' the reader, and what came to mind was 'fractured thoughts and relentless dark hours.
