Cells

Standing alone in the dark,

I heard the commence of the fight,

All that could be seen was the mark,

A mark that shone so bright.

Hope and Faith had swelled,

Though strange during the war,

Even though I am celled,

I felt as though I could soar.

Alone here all that could be felt was fear,

Yet I survived even during the heat ,

All I suffered was a single tear,

Falling from the tear-duct and skipping a beat.

It was only a matter of time before he came,

And unlocked the door with a clink of the key,

The man who showed no shame,

And gave you the count to three.

The thudding of footsteps announced his arrival,

Casting a glance I caught his shadow,

And knew there was no chance of survival,

Even as he looked at the cell window.

I stood there proudly awaiting the sign,

And summoned all my strength and faith,

Although I heard a whine,

He clearly had experienced a wraith.

Though he did not delay too long,

And spun round easily,

I noticed something was wrong,

I began to fall uneasily.

He finally struck me down,

All the way to the ground,

Though my strength and faith goes on,

My children will never know me.
