And In These Walls

By XCryingMinotaurX

And in these walls,
fear dawns in my heart,
for I am dreaming the dreams of the dead.

And in these walls,
hatred brews in my heart,
for I am held captive by my own will and reason.

But I shall not escape,
and in these walls,
I shall bear the burden of love.
