THOUGHTS WITHIN THE CELL

A pitiful joy with this helpless
toy
to fiddle and bounce it's limbs so high,
to gouge it's eyes and hear no cry!
A pitiful thought to wish it real
upon it's life you then could steel
and watch it slowly come to die!
Not I.
I see no reason to wish this thought,
pitiful illusions of death I sought.
Upon myself I see this lie.
The dead toy will cease to be,
as I approach the confounds of reality,
but I sigh.
Alas I see this pitiful door,
and upon my feet the padded floor.
I sink to the corner and come to think,
leading my mind to the very brink!
My thoughts seemly turn to pale
my life has become grossly stale.
******
I look through the opening upon the door
to see a friend of long before.
One who turns to see me back,
and sees my mind as a bitter core,
one of death, one of black!
No more.
I turn and hide my eyes of shame,
to stop this feeling of bitter pain.
Let him live the life he sought,
let him live this life of rot.
I cannot!
I must release my mind from the insane,
and give the knife which travels the vein.
*******
I hand him the knife,
this pitiful knife.
Once a dull and useless tool,
I take the knife like a fool,
and proceed to take away my life!
I have saved him
he has saved I
we are one
goodbye.
