Locked in a prison with no file,
An agoraphobic exile
Misplaced in a world that’s a stage.
I rattle the bars of my cage.
A leper locked away alone,
Becoming feral on my own.
With tears of frustration and rage,
I rattle the bars of my cage.
I write to reclaim sanity,
What’s left of it inside of me.
Words scream silent upon the page.
I rattle the bars of my cage.

You left me to endure alone,
The only love I’d ever known.
You enticed me, pulled me astray,
Tore out my soul, left it to fray.
I am withering on my own.
There is no fire and no brimstone.
There’s just a world of monotone.
Void of color, my skies are gray.
…You left me…
Adrift within the great unknown,
My senses deadened to the bone.
You are a thief; I was your prey.
You stole my heart and went away,
A bandit with a core of stone.
…You left me…

Blissfully unaware that the
World has gone mad.
Within their tranquil realm,
There is only love.
Before you,
I was proud
To burn too bright.
I held my head high.
I was independent.
Before you,
I didn’t want
To divvy the light.
I kept it for myself.
I was obstinate.
Before you,
I never wanted
To be saved by night.
I impeded its relief.
I was isolated.
With you,
I have found
The beauty of contrast,
A prism for my rays.
I am humbled.
With you,
I want to share
The sky so vast,
A kaleidoscopic twilight.
I am better with you.
With you,
I dread no more
The gloom night might cast.
I can close my eyes.
I am at peace.
