The Cellar of Coal

Morning shines it's pitch dark light
Skyline painted in an horrific gloom
New days full of pain and might
Visible from the deepest cellar room

Locked inside bars of raging steel
In my minds inferno I hinder
Far away from all things that feel
A heart then burns to cinder

Shreds of hope penetrate the wall
Of a fast decaying soul
Guarding hands then stop my fall
Sanity brought back to control

Life from dark to light anew
From fall to sanity once more
When feelings are few and few
We see our future pale and gore

In life's wave we drop and rise
Through others then pass our day
Learning to trust, ends in demise
As our deepest wish fades away

The cellar of coal is always there
Locking me up when thoughts live through
Mind is a prison, heart feels bare
A cellar of coal, my emotions to you
