Crumpled paper, You found a design.  Amidst the grass, I laid injured.  Instead of a rose,  you kept me inside.

Before the dumbfounded ghosts could say anything,  I turned and continued my journey to somewhere.  *** "Don't go in there," a whisper I heard.  "Why not?" I asked. "It's a snarl!" urgency noted.  I smiled, and I entered. Oh so dark! I was blind with eyes.  I walked; I knew something...
