back to the cell

don’t send me back to the cell
let me be free
high in the tower
no one is watching
air is thinner
leave the shackles on the floor
hands free falling
to a comfortable level
loneliness is always
momentary
the warden won’t take kindly
to the events as of late
escape only to achieve solitude
somewhere else
cleansing spots
desire deemed evil
twins stare back from
the green wall
finally pulling the stop
on a bathtub full of tears
always cried in vain
inevitable return
with punishment
thoughts seen as lunatic
rising on the feet
move to the edge
without bars sight clears
without prayers
standing on my head
no matter how much they laugh
my punishment
my decision to flee…
