I am trapped in a place
I am not sure if it’s real
The paths are all gone
At best it’s surreal.
The leaves have all fallen
They crunch underfoot
There is no perspective
I think I am forsook.
This land of the fae
Is an alien place
They called to me, plaintive
That diminutive race
I am trapped in a place
I am not sure if its real
I am moving forward
Like on, a hamster’s wheel.
My heart is a thundering
My breath fast and tight
Darkness has descended
Like the darkest, moonless night.
My boots keep me walking
The air feels real chill
The fireflies are biting
They are making me ill.
Why did I wish for a different fate
You asked me to marry you
I just couldn’t relate
I took my love away ,with no review.
Now I am paying, what’s overdue
I am trapped in a place far from home
I know its the end the fireflies have grown
Those fae creatures,will make me atone.
Written to relate to a photo prompt.
Reminds me of Christina Rosetti’s ‘Goblin Market’ …
