Lost

I am lost in a forest
of shadows and compartments
I hold the key but I see no locks
and every turn brings only more darkness

Where is the light to lead me?
Where is the path I stand on?

I have abandoned and am abandoned in turn
and only loneliness is my companion

Is there some truth somewhere?
I cannot see, cannot hear, cannot speak
and my mind races to stand still

A trap devised so cunningly
only I could do it
and succeed so well
at fooling myself
