Prisons
Traversing veiled and hazy twilight sleep
My thoughts meander and begin to creep
Through channels only visible at night
Unleashing fears kept harnessed by the light
When faces reappear from deep within
In shame, remorse enhances my chagrin
To face the truths of weakness hidden still
From those I’ve loved and lost through silent will
If I could only have just one more chance
To speak the words I felt within this dance
I’d scream with all the courage I could find
And leave behind the prisons of my mind
How we regret, not just some things we do
Yet worse, those left undone though not meant to
Like saying, I love you, to those we love
To end up just in dreams with thoughts thereof
