Silent Shadows ~ just me and the Echos ~ I call ~ hearing nothing but my words Rebounding off the wall ~ Crouched and Cornered ~ Seeking and Searching ~ through the darkness on my knees I go Lurching ~ reach and feel, Hope and Pray ~ Seeking out the light of day ~ a Hand and Heart ~ Warmth and Trust ~ slipping through the Darkness and Dust ~ In the Blackness I feel and crawl ` only to find another wall ~ I turn and touch ~ this emptiness to much ~ grasping at shadows ~ wondering what fallows ~ a door ~ a hand ~ a latch ~ or knob ~ nothing as I fight off the urge to sob ~ Trapped here for them to torment ~ they wish I would relent ~ a minute passed like a day ~ and in the darkness here I pray ~ Hopelessly and Helplessly I search relentlessly ~ in the darkness surrounded swallowed and shameless ~ and as I sit here and wonder am I blameless? ~ That is up to you to Decide ~ Ive lost the one to whom I Confide ~ Confined to this cell ~ and in the Darkness I know ~
