The Sinking Question

Left on my own

What did I do wrong? To

Deserve this shame

I hear a voice

I’m left with no choice

To observe their games

Outside there lies a life

I dare not fantasise

Yet I ask why/I’ve not learnt

Why I’m left to cry/Why I’m left to yearn

For what I’ll never have

My body creeks

I follow their shrieks

Past my wooden walls

I see them there They’re

Without a care Stood

Straight and tall

Outside I feel the life

I would not dare dеscribe

I might have known

That herе on my own

My days would fill with the empty

My questions sink And all

I do is blink At the

Clouded moon

The river calls

The devil he crawls

But I have attuned

Outside I know there’s life

Beyond my sunken eyes

My body’s bent

And all my time is spent

Being teased with my freedom
