Ariadne Poem by Abigail Hauschild

My thoughts are wild tonight
Every whisper a vine
wrapping around my sanity
Growing stronger and tighter
Till my mind is an impossible maze

You say you want to know me, truly
You'll be Ariadne with a string
Even my own heart lost its way long ago
You think at the center you'll find my soul
But what if all that's left is a Minotaur?

If you can make sense of my mindscape
Would you show me the way?
If you can make it out alive
With your heart intact
Lead me out of the labyrinth, Love
