Locked Away

Here my body wastes and dies Despite all those tears and cries This love has taken all of me Like the relentless powerful sea Battered against unyielding rocks Crush by solid granite blocks My body is completley lost My spirit touched by old Jack Frost As deeply and strong I strike With my long and bright knife So I cut and peel back my skin And reveal what has grown within Something stronger and harder too A shiny new skin to start anew My body has changed hard as stone It can now withstand life’s cyclone My bones are made of alloy steel My skins sensation I no longer feel My outer shell can come to no harm Impenetrable even by any firearm My eyes are like hardest of stones Made to withstand all life’s unknowns My spirit is now safely locked within Away from the worlds pain and sin Warming through but only slow It still has a great distance to go I’m safe for now from all the hurt But it’s paid for with a body inert From behind dead eyes I observe Through emotional armour I preserve Waiting for the final day to come Where once more I can walk in the sun
