"Trapped"


from the ABC set Grim

Shackled nonetheless
Trapped, concealed in nothing but darkness
Evil entered here, as these walls were haunted
Yet I, outstanded, still conscious, unwanted

Escape, as it's hopeless, a hopeless obeisance
As useless as the hint of light, shining fluorescence
Scream, to panic, "help me" oh sympathy
Like dark deeds of harmonic, ebonic insanity

Tendrils, are death's only living hands
Black shades of gray lurk around forgotten sands
Cries of never bends, as her living soul descends
And leaves the body for The Calling....
