Here We Lie Bound
Here we lie bound
by Darkness
No light has ever touched
These dungeon walls
I can’t see you
but I know
when you’re smiling
Here we lie bound
by Hunger
the meals are
few and apart
I can’t see you
but I know
when you offer me yours
Here we lie bound
by Pain
the chains bite my wrists
and I stumble in the dark
I can’t see you
but I know
you share my pain
Here we lie bound
by Secrets
I know nothing
beyond these walls
I can’t see you
but I know
you whisper truths from outside
Here we lie bound
by Fear
when the nightmares wake me screaming
you are there
I can’t see you
but I know
you’re helping me through
The day they came and took you
The light seared my eyes
Through my tears I saw you
I though
my sight betrayed me
but then I saw your
bright blue eyes
the dungeon couldn’t shadow
then you smiled
and alone
I remain bound
Here I lie bound
by determination
by hope
by love
I can’t see you
but I will find you
