The Last Ember

selfstruggles

I want out
to break free
and escape once and for all
from this wretched cell
of an empty prison
a lonely inmate
in my own solitary confines
I yearn for the touch of the sun
just a small savory taste
too long it has been
too many sunsets I have missed
now memories begin to die
of what it had been like
to bask in those warming rays
that once wrapped around me
in a loving embrace
unconditionally
filling my once-innocent soul
with the same promising glow
but all I've known since
is darkness and a chill
an icy choking hold
in this cell, now I lay still
a howling wind tears around
silencing my feeble moans
drowning out the shattered cries
so mangled they are to faraway ears
oblivious they will always remain
but somewhere deep inside
an ember still weakly glows
it sits quiet and still
waiting patiently to be found
its power is the key
to give me courage and heart
to dig through the massive walls
and emerge reborn
the search is on
to find where it hides
before the promise it holds
disappears forever into eternity
