Cave

Inside a cave
is where I dwell.
Safe from harm
Safe from hell.
I stay inside
I hide away.
It seems to the only way.
For me to survive
This place of hell
In a cave where I now dwell.
I once had dreams
I once had hope
I once had life
And the ability to cope.
Then hell came and
filled me with distress
and strife.
This can really be my life?
My bed is that of fantasy
Where reality doesn't exist.
I don't want to face the truth
A truth I still resist.
But inside this cave
I am safe -
But not from the nightmares -
The nightmares that haunt me.
Late in the night
When I cry out -
Who hears me?
Who will make this right?
That's why I stay
Safe inside my cave
Where I dwell
To hide away
Hide away from hell.
