Bashing against the cushioned walls
Of his lovely prison
Bloodless agony escapes
Quiet lips
Knowing that a blue sky waits yonder
With torn wings, on a sinking ship
Drowning in a bitter sea watching the breath of life
Escape in pretty bubbles
Waiting for the escape hatch to open
Knocking desperately at the door
Escaping a lonely prison isn’t easy
When its cushioned and pretty!
You know I understand his dilemma. Only I'm on the outside looking in, I think
