Almost there
Buried in the shadows
Cast by the ruined mind.
Death recalls a memory
Echoing inside of the
Furthest chasm that keeps
Growing.
Hurry before he catches you
Inside the sacred place whose
Journey required peace.
Keep still and
Listen for the
Monster’s heavy step.
Never stray
Off of the given
Path.
Question the broken thing
Resting in the corner too
Scared to show its face.
Take nothing that lies
Under the darkened
Vault and
Wonder not about the
Xanthosis that grows within
Your mind keeping you from your
Zenith.

Is Jumping into a New Relationship the Cure for a Broken Heart?
Love can be like a stubborn problem that’s hard to fix. Sometimes, after a breakup, people try to forget their ex by quickly finding a new partner. They hope a new relationship will make them stop thinking about the past. But, this often just shows they’re still stuck on their ex.

I'm not a Vocal Newbie (not that there's anything wrong with that), and I'm technologically comfortable. But, I'm also perhaps too comfortable. I think I know, even if I know that I don't know what I don't know, I still think I know more that I do know.

Good stuff!
This had a nice rhythm, wonderful job!
I loved your flow and wording! This was almost reminiscent of a Poe-like atmosphere for me!
