the prisoner
a prisoner of your own device
locked away for an eternity
calling out your own judgement
a trial set by your fears
confined to a life of solitude
living in the shadows of doubt
the punishment protects you from harm
but also banishes you from love
a life sentence behind concrete walls
a fortress of darkness and anguish
pacing the floor time and after time
you end up down on your knees
pounding the floor with tightly drawn fists
leaves you bloodied and empty inside
roseary beads dangle from your praying hands
pleading for a make-believe pardon
bleeding hearts and angels of mercy
are looking down on your tortured soul
a beam of light splits your dark cell
the heat of the sun brings you warmth
true love is your key to freedom
but you chose to swallow it whole
a love that could be true
a love that could be yours
lies buried
deep
deep
inside your fearful soul. . .
