Away for a While

a glimpse of mind

''I'm tired of it all.''
Is all they heard her say
''I'll just go sleep a while..''
And she was on her way.

As crick-crack-crock
The old walls crumbled
she unlock'd the lock
and in she stumbled-

The air smelled sweetly
Of honey-dipped pines
She's lost completely
Between her own lines

Sometimes monsters
And sometimes fae
Sometimes strangers
Would come her way

The monsters helped
(sometimes too much)
She sob'd and she yelp'd
When she let them touch

''Time stays still, it seems''
She said out loud to hear
''In one of them weird dreams''
And not a soul was near

Sticky were the walls
And the floor quite wet
In those endless halls
Not easy to forget

''I'll wake up, soon enough''
She picked up her pace
As ha-ha-ha, a scary laugh
Rattled down the place

''You're going nowhere''
Was all that it said
But it didn't chase her,
She wouldn't have fled.

''Well, I'm guessing then''
She said in a daze
''I'll stay here once again''
in delirium's maze.
