Watching the Horizon

Folder: 
...

I ascend the depths
Where quietly she waits
For too long
She has traced the walls.

Lost in the maze
Defensive horns
Grown too heavy to bear
My advance deflected.

Deadly bitten
Silent warning
My reach quickly severed
Fearing a touch too gentle.

Previous trust
Impaled
A sheath of rock
Await your hero.

The blade withdrawn
Your flesh revealed
Flow again
Gasp at love.

Is such but legend?
The page inscribed
Ink not dry
I come.
