My heart is guarded by a labyrinth

of spirals of razor barbed wire

Moats filled with electric eels and serpents

Iron plated stonewalls one hundred feet high

Barricades made of previous heart slayer’s skeletons

 

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth

of poisonous snakes and molten lava pits

Defensive positions by undertakers

Burning ambers and cliffs of fire

Towering embankments of victims past

 

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth

of sharp stalagmites and stalactites

Ruthless scavengers of the plains

Barriers of vast parched desert

Horrid echoing screams from the tortured

 

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth

of armed battalion volunteers

Ballistas and mangonels abreast

Columns of aimed artillery

Thousands of murder holes

 

My heart is guarded by a labyrinth

of nothing that can’t be conquered

Decimated and dismantled

Destroyed and disassembled

 

My heart

has been seized by you
