Enclosed

Enclosed within mystery, in a slumber, a trance
My eyes wide open flooded without chance
My arms scarred and twisted talk of unforgotten foes
As the beasts lie dormant whilst my mind is closed

Simplicity so difficult for my memories to grasp
Friendships dead and buried where I failed to grasp
Seldom does the time come where the worlds technicolour
Instead black and gray lost within one another

My heart beats gently against the pain in my chest
Holes appear beneath my eyes from lack of rest
Bad news befalls those who wait for it to come
I wait for it daily, every day there is some

Curtains block out sunlight which burns the skin
Puffy red eyes reflect night upon night of sin
Tears of bittersweet hatred flow soothingly down my face
Pride at my failures, distraught with disgrace

Echoes from a soul lost deep within time
Each day brings new trials to consume my tattered mind
Hurt ensnares hope with its fingerless hand
Longing within tragedy for the world to understand

Honours lie broken in shards upon the floor
My arms are enslaved to wreak havoc behind this black door
Blow upon blow as my defenses fall down
Blood pours so gently splattering to the ground

Life becomes nothing but a search for redemption
Destroying each of our precious creations
Forgiveness unwanted as I lose sense of time
My one true escape is knowing that you, love, are mine
