For Me Alone

These walls that come to confine me,
Trembles as I fall
Deeper into this abyss I've created
From mind and soul and all.
Its caged me up like wilds,
Crouching behind bars
Hiding from the shallow world
That I once yearned to be apart.

And falling is so easy
When you've closed your eyes to holding on
And deception is but another word
Straying far from moralities yard.
So I sit here in these confinements
Searching the mind of its bereft response
Tangled in emotions
That you will never come close to unraveling its yarn
For the child in you has died
And the wise not yet born
And if one day the answer does come clear to me,
It will be for me and me alone.
