Jailhouse Mock



Oh 
To roam
Free
Beyond 
The 
Walls 
Of 
Tyranical
Mind

Visitors
Discouraged
Very 
Few furloughs
Granted

Will 
My fate
Then

Be to 
Languish

Until
My last 
Breath

In 
A solitary exile
Within
A prison

Rumoured to 
Have been

Engineered & erected
For 
My protection.

Echoing 
Through the corridors

The taunting 
Refrain

Of
A Love 
That offers
Release

Which 
Remains 
Near enough
To taste

But 
Forever
Out of
Reach
