Hello there to the silence
That was once occupied by your presence
Hello there to the emptiness
That was once filled with naughtiness
I whisper words now
To a place that was once my solace
You said I was your favourite
But I was a dumping site
Your getaway arena
Just a space you could visit at your convenience
Act out without consequence
With your bad behaviour on sequence
But I am human
And will be till I return to dust
That red liquid flows through me
Like you my bones are clothed with flesh
I am a person
Why would you put me in a prison
Chains, shackles and darkness
Soot covering the shine of my skin
With ugly bleeding scars on my shin
Physically trapped
Mentally cornered
I can't think far enough for an escape
Cause at the peak of my thought
You appear with loads of trash
Ready to dump again
Tasking me with sorting and solving
I forget mine to deal with yours
You tell me I couldn't possibly have problems
After all I am in a cell
What issues could a jail bird possibly have
What could be more important than you
The one holding the key to my freedom
I think your audacity is worrying
Your temerity an element of concern
You really think I can't get out
That I'll remain here
Stay within this blackened walls
Chatting with the low fire burning briskly
Spreading smoke to every corner
You really think I can't break out
That I'll sit in this room
With its rusting iron gate
Crooked burglary and Broken light bulbs
That I'll be stuck in this gloom
Leaving you to direct the doom
But I guess we'll just have to see
Whose ashes would be left behind
When it all burns down.
