The Tunnel

​This tunnel seems to go on forever
completely dark in this passageway
the brick walls are wet with slime
giving the feeling of dampness
that runs through the body
 
Have never felt so alone
with every indecisive step taken
no one ever takes the same steps
as each tunnel is different
 
At times, wish for company
to share the experienced fear
in where this hole leads
 
Hold on to all hope
that past spirits will guide
as I cannot see, only feel
the cracks that are stepped in
 
Breath and believe
that there will be
a tinker of light
in this life's tunnel
