"Breadcrumbs"

Breadcrumbs mark the path you've taken
Fading footprints lead me roundabout
Time lost as the clock ticks slowly on
And I'm searching for a safe way out.
There is no sun to light my way
The blood before me is all I can really see
Stains on the ground in this untouched world
I shiver as slowly I forget to breathe.
An echo suddenly drifts back from you
Lingering and bouncing to lead me astray
A shadow, too, draws my attention
But I'm fighting the urge to run away.
"A little further," you whisper sweetly
Stumbling, I'm guided slowly on
Hopelessly searching--I know in vain
For the heart you promised since we've begun.
