Where the Wild Things Are
Please don't lose yourself in your wild, untamed mind.
Wait to lose yourself and be consumed by nervous thoughts in the wee hours of the morning until I'm with you.
Wait to explore undiscovered ruins hidden in the crevices of your brain until I find my way to where you have stumbled.
Wait to enter the caverns of lost memories and shattered wishes until I have decoded intricate hieroglyphics.
Wait to illuminate this forgotten jungle until you are ready to let me see all the beautiful and ugly creatures which lurk and cower in its tangled roots.
I reassure you; I will still adore you no
matter what evils we stumble upon along our
journey,
for I know,
deep in the heart of this wild labyrinth
awaits decadence and beauty.
