You enter an overgrown maze.
The floor is covered in glass.
As you brush a vine from your face,
The door behind you closes fast.
The lights get dim and it grows cold.
Music is swelling from all around.
Frames of memories long since old
Lay toppled and torn across the ground.
Spikes start growing from the walls.
Following footsteps are heard from behind.
There's nothing to do but keep moving on
Away from the sorrow and toward the light.
There are voices all around you now.
They mock and curse and laugh.
Paired with images of bloody towels
You wonder who lived with this past.
It's getting darker and so much colder.
The walls get closer and spikes are more sharp.
Now in your way is an enormous boulder.
From the top, the maze is shaped like a heart.
You see that there is no way out
As you scan the outside edge.
Now you make your way down
Carved in the boulder is a pledge.
Across the whole thing is an slash.
The words read soft and smoothe.
"Baby girl, I'll love you forever, I promise.
We'll be together, away from here we'll move"
It is signed by not one, but two.
One name has been crossed out.
According to the mark running through,
This heart is filled with doubt.
Making your way to the middle
The music calms and voices die.
In your head, you hear a riddle.
"Who is it that is loved by I?"
At last you make it, you're finally there.
Nothing has stopped you or caused you to fall.
Music and beauty and love are everywhere.
Light from the roses fills you with awe.
Pictures of you decorate the walls.
Your smile, your concern, random memories.
My laughter, pure and real, from a door calls.
You open it and are met with a cool breeze.
I fall into your arms, I hold you close to me.
"Thank you," I whisper. "For everything."
Rain comes down with thunder and lightning.
I look at you and smile, and then we start dancing.
