The Cell

by Black~Rose   May 27, 2005


The room is empty
The air is cold and still
One bed, a lamp, and a table
Nothing more
There's no color
No windows
Just white walls and gray floor
Silence
You can hear a pin drop
Until you hear violent screams from down the hall
Walk to the door
Peek out the tiny glass window
The torturing and beating of another
You think to yourself with either fear or hate
I'm next
How much longer till I'm done
Wishing for nothing more than death
But yet something stops you
Gets you thinking
You look over at a picture
the picture of "The One"
And you can't wait to be in their arms
"The One" keeps you going, gives you energy
You just wait until that day
"The One" takes you away
