Trapped

by Cassie   May 13, 2005


Trapped inside this circle
With this wall that never ends
Left with all these memories
Old horrors every bend
Nothing new surprises me
It's the old that takes my speech
Pounding on the wall with fear
But never it I breech
Laughing at me mocking
These fears that chase me down
So close they come upon me
I'd breathe, but fear I'd drown
Suffocating with their life
I try to scream but don't
Reaching down inside of me
No voice will reach my throat
Shying back I try to run
My feet won't leave the ground
Once more again I try to scream
And again I have no sound
They're getting even closer yet
Warm breaths seep down my neck
I close my eyes and take a breath
My nerves, I'm such a wreck
I try to think to no avail
They are my only thought
Especially one memory
With the feeling that it wrought
It tortures me with all it's might
When a tear seeps down my cheek
Prying at my open wound
My knees are getting weak
Falling to the ground at last
I feel it dig in deeper
Causing so much pain inside
I'd pray for the Grim Reaper
Mustering up all my strength
My whisper but a hush
I beg to it for mercy
But with no hopes of such
Crying now these tears of blood
the crimson flows so freely
I reach out to touch your face
But I don't think you see me
Fading in the distance
I feel it slip away
I feel the pain, it starts to ease
No longer will it stay
I slowly close my eyes
And I draw in a breath
Anticipating anything
But so sure of only death
