Trapped

A long drawn out silence calls

Stuttering, a Labored Breath tolls

A cry for help all long

A mind's torment runs strong

Memories of a love long gone

Trouble me on and on

They rise from ashes Unbidden

These Skeletons from closets forgotten

Trapped within confines of this mind

Never an outlet these thoughts find

Tortures endless, Pains ceasless

Screams listless, Sounds needless

In my heart, I let a fire burn

Towards hope, I let my mind run

The ghosts from past are on my tail

They catch me, my escape fails

I give myself up to my ghosts

To onrushing death, I drink two toasts

My life gone, my energy sapped

Wasted I lie, my mind trapped
