Confined

The silent walls stand and defend
Watching through time with no end
Vessels sail by at every hour
Guided by the watchtower lights
The sandman resides within
Amongst the refuse of human wills
It beckons everyone to slumber while
Time slowly creeps by with your youth in tow
Let the beasts fight for the scraps of dignity
It may not fill them but may subdue their rage.
Build your walls and stand the watch
Ready yourself to defend and survive
Deaden the emotions that may betray you
Darkness comes at the point of a word
Lessen the tone of your eye.
Gather your strength and fight the loneliness
That threatens to take your hope.
These struggles exhaust the soul
Sleep and let time steal a little tonight
Tomorrow will be another day to fight again
Unclench the hand and release your pain.
Rest, the wolves do not hunt tonight.
