Cell

Hello mother it’s been too long since I first left, oh so long
I’m sorry for the vile and debasing actions I have done 
I cry the blood of a thousand men 
I have lost my heart and hope it will be found
What do you say, for I know you cannot hear my words, as I lie in silence
I know you cannot see me in this grey damp cell, as I lie in darkness
I have lost myself in a labyrinth, do you know the way out
My strength is gone, I haven’t the time for forsaken prayers as all lights turn out
