No hope of rescue

So many painful nights without sleep
Unsettling thoughts both dark and deep
Pen scratching paper, his only friend
Upon page after page he writes
Staving off pain through sleepless nights
Is this all that remains until
The end ?

Into this trap he was lured
By broken promises and un-kept word
Generously baited he believed the lie
Each day is never too late
To escape such a terrible fate
Instead he cried for help, hearing
No reply

Sleepless nights, so passes the year
Imprisoned and tortured, living in fear
Cruel tormentor, it’s fang jaws agape
Another sleepless night in terrible pain
In this hole he would remain
No hope of rescue or will
To escape

Imprisoned and never changing his ways
Through sleepless nights and weary days
His cries for mercy cruelly mocked
No way out he could find
From the prison in his mind
Even though knowing those prison doors
Remain  unlocked
