The Outsider

I must have lived for years
In vast and dismal chambers
Never saw the light of day
How far must I walk astray
To see
There is no end
No other side of the forest
This leads me back
I can but vaguely remember
My own resemblance
Safe the shell of decay
Horrid in every way
Forever trapped in twilight
His dreams I once espied
From the most ghastly of shores
Ill-forgotten memories soar
Alone on this underground isle
Was there ever a curse so vile
Sealed off from life itself
In the dark I shall dwell
The ominous tower I must climb
I cannot look down the roof is nigh
So close yet so far the surface
I emerge from the subconscious
I am a stranger among men
My dusted innards feel broken
The mirror reveals my abomination
My fate lies in desolation
