Captivity

I awake and wonder how the fuck I got in this glass case
Impaled on the weight of the mistakes I made
Failures and regrets I take to this grave
On display

And I will never circumvent this fate
I never will escape it

Lie awake, pinned to the illusion of an open space
Hope is paralyzed by my mistakes

I weep for our failures
I weep for the loss

Dust collects on the glass
Obscuring the light from view
Suspended animation wings
Life hangs motionless
Out there in the ether longing to be free
Pinned to a white sheet
Entombed in glass
Anchored to my misery

I weep for our failures
I weep for our loss
Alone with my regrets
Imprisoned behind glass

This is an emergency
Break the glass
