Amidst Her Mind

A spiraling staircase leads below to worlds unknown 
 

One sign resides at the top before the first step drops 

———————
l   CAUTION    l
l  enter at own  l
|       RISK        |

What thoughts race through a curious mind as you look down 

As far as your eyes can see long and it keeps going 

Other bystanders keep passing by never even taking a look 

Until finally you decide to get close and commit to one step 

WAIT! someone screams in fear for you causing you to back up 

What, wait, huh , what do you mean you mutter confused 

The gentleman says “ you must not be from around here “

If you were then you would know that this stairway is a trap 

You reply back “ what do you mean, I don’t understand “

Just trust me kid it’s not worth your time , you must move on 

Go! Get and never ever be tempted again to consider 

For what lies below none of us know for one mere fact 

Not one soul has ever lived to tell of what is down below 

As you turn to look back down at the endless stairs that spiral 

You look back at the strange man and he’s no where in sight 

Your body gets chills as your mind’s thoughts cross paths 

You are drawn back to that sign but this time it is totally bare

You start to get creeped out wondering, how this could be ?

But yet that dark black spiral staircase leading down remains 

You put your hand on the top of the rail ¥ as you grasp it firmly 

You lift your right foot to plant down on the first drop...

Don’t ! Someone screams as you retract your foot back 

What do you think you’re doing ? Cant you read the sign ! 

The woman in a dress-suit finishes yelling  at you 

You reply back what do you mean ma'am I’m confused 

She firmly reaches out her arm and points her finger at the sign

You plead with her you never read that or those words 

But rather it stated something different before 

She laughed hysterically and scary loud with her head back 

And when she came back to eye level with yours ....... 
 

You couldn’t believe what you saw ..... it’s your ex-girlfriend 

What in the hell? you ask as her hands turn to claws 

The gentleman’s voice from before yells “ I told you so “

Run, Run, Run! He pleads but where? as you’re  cornered 

The staircase the only place left to go as her eyes turn red 

Thorns appear from her hair as her heels explode off 

You feel stuck in place, truly lost not knowing what to do 

She takes her claw and points one last time at that sign 

You look in fear and cannot believe what you read
