Time Served

Eyes they speak truth 
In the dungeon deep 
Shackled and chained, 
caged by you 
Hell of a making 

Judged not worthy 
Imprisoned alone 
Here I saw the light, 
in silver strands 
Written on the walls 
My answer 

Weeping willow 
A past nightmare, 
casting shadows 
Water in darkness draped 
Thrown in hell 

Silently to the wayside 
A bitter blow, 
the stomach curled 
In its silent scream 
Drooped heavy 
Inside pain 

Dragging myself 
To the crossroads, 
dagger of truth 
In a bolt of lightning 
You shot me down 

The eyes told me a story 
Popping out 
from your face, 
inner skeleton spoke 
Upon the mirror 
The heart 
did not lie 

Written all over 
Your bare face lie 
Ending became ice to me, 
the titanic sunk 
Ending dreams 

Words hold no truth 
In the foul deed, 
caught like a kipper 
In the net 
ending love 

Without heart 
Attacked feelings 
Falling into an undersea current, 
swallowed truth 
Words spoken 
untrue 
My end
