Struggle all through them avenues
Snakelike and hostile though they be
These tenuous defences I engender
All that stands between us
Subtle twists to navigate
The heat of your emotions
Burning the way
Your eyes shining so bright
Your mind full of night
Lending you strength to persevere
You never should have ventured here
Your hands bent and hard
Bent and twisted into claws
Sweat upon your body glistens
Drips all down leaves trails
Along the dusty ground
Like breadcrumbs
As you grope towards your goal
Not knowing when cometh the fall
Moving forward relentless
Until we meet
Love and hate our weapons drawn
All that stands between us
