The Room

Within this little room
   No windows do I see

Four walls and memories
   My only company

I listen as I breathe
   This damp and musky air

For any signs of life within
   Myself while huddled here

I rise to stand on legs
   That will not hold my weight

There's no escape, I fear
   This room of empty fate
