Fallacy of Forest Trees

[greenicerose]

if you could only see
through the forest, through the trees
the cascade of falling leaves
to the boy inside, who bleeds

wandering somewhere
between genius and delusion
leading every follower
into an endless, dark labyrinth

i don't think you're well-prepared
and i don't think you've equipped yourself

for an endless, spiral staircase
leading down into forever
where the passage ways continue
and the dark holds every terror

you're in a maze that's ever-changing
and your exit is always blocked

bleeding boy
struggling to assign words some value
equal to the unseen spears
of everything that's destroying
the fabric of relationships
between your heart and mind
the wounds are never-healing
in a death that's too unkind

welcome to the forest
hiding everything we are
welcome your car into this tree
where the hospital's too far

be careful on the roads
when it rains down in pails
i am the driver crashing
and i hope your airbag fails
