The Fatal Call

She gave the sentence
Tying up the string 
Making the man the puppet
With such a glorious sunshine
He was drenched in darkness
Blinded to all
 within a bursting crowd
He sank a step deeper

He shouted his plead
In a room full of silence
Prompting a deadly stagger
Further to the deep

He turned to all
 with arms out stretched 
Making a lifetime connection
only with deaden flesh
Keeping in touch with all 
But never getting a call at all
He entered the now merging darkness

Emerging with stiffened hopes
He edged on 
Damned by the many sentences
He answered the fatal call
