Caged

Shadows start to creep all over,

Engulfing me in a gray mist.

I fight for air in this suffocation.

Gasping and gulping, my lungs start to close.

Suddenly I awake lying on a bed of satin petals,

Which start to drown me.

Kicking and screaming I rise up to breathe

And find myself pushed back down to drown.

Barriers at every turn I make.

Theres no one to release me from this cage.

Coughing and wheezing, bleeding,

I extend my hand to you.

All I ask is for you to save me, to give me life again.

Yet all I see is your back to me.

No more dreams.

I am sinking.

Struggling to boost myself for one last breath of air,

But youre not there.

I am alone.
