Punished
Cast away in time
souls that have no crime
Watch these horrors unfold.
Listen to what memories hold.
Trapt alone in a jail cell,
and the mental pain could tell.
When this physical agony is through,
yet silence is all he can do.
Chained down in a tomb.
The darkness shall consume.
Anything left of his sanity,
escape if yet only a fantasy.
Stuck alone in his mind,
the silence was so unkind.
His heart beat like a drum,
waiting for his day to come,
when freedom begins to form,
hidden away from this storm.
As he escapes into the night,
he forgets he was punished by the light.
