My soul crouches deep inside meNext Poem
A claustrophobic wreck
That has been trapped for so long
That it has lost all hope of freedom.
I try to comfort her
And tell her that she will escape
the confines of my body,
But I fear that her disheartened state
Has made her too ill to care.
I know what I must do-
It is the only thing to save my soul
Or she will die because I live.© 17/6/01
