FEAR!


Memories long locked away

Have broken the door

Droning on for eternity

 

I scream yet no one cares nor hears

Tears stream down my face

Icy darkness covers my faint cries of despair

 

This indelible pain devastates my soul

Never free always trapped

Mentally unstable is what I am

Locked away for evermore

 

I’ve been locked away for evermore

Bond by icy shackles

Never to escape my iron cell

Until Death saves me
