I used to climb those same vines
of darkness and depth,
but then I reached the top and
hell couldn’t pull me down anymore.
I stared down at the world,
from my tower of recovery I
could see the struggle,
the crippling of mankind.
I tried to pull you up the wall,
scratched my bare hands,
but you fucking fell back down
and left me here alone.
Now I sit in this tower,
although now it is a trap
and I cannot get back
down the wall.
