Insanity

Lost in the lines of time
The grids of sin
Laid on the beauty of despair
Caught like a fly on a spider web

Wind blew and my prison sank
So long ago I'm no longer around
Wrecked in sadness
Alone with tears and nightmares

Regrets have drowned and dried up
Pain is now all that is left
Single stroke of humanity
Melting, and glinting, and fading

And yet, I still breathe
And yet, I still hope.
