All the world’s a stage
But not when you are locked up in my cage.
Alive and forgotten!
I often feel empty and downtrodden.
A faint light still glows,
Some distant memory uploads.
The past and present conjugate;
Inescapable, they only humiliate.
Trying to forget what could have been;
Regretting how Bed Lam was our master then.
What you did was so cruel!
Why did you ignore the golden rule?
Isolated and all alone;
My heart wants to turn to stone.
You vanished without a trace;
Did it bring you solace?
Remember the movie Titanic?
Wasn’t it oh so romantic?
But what a tragic, painful end when the Titanic went down;
Especially when Rose had to let go of Jack and watch him drown.
