The Black Staircase

This is a poem written by my character Aiden Black in my book series. This is included in the first book, The Devil You Know.

 The Black Staircase

Take me down where it's too dark to see
Nothing but black not a light to flee
A flight on a spiral, a wave of a staircase
Are you brave enough to try
your feet meet with air
You really could fly
Or get caught in the stare
The wind sweeps you up
Fooled into trying
You think you're flying
but where the dumb meets the brave
is a riddle I've yet to solve
Crawling through the cave
You pour the misery over like
a thick sauce of years past
She didn't make this for you;
she doesn't know you exist
but when you get the chance
Ask her, was I missed
