Power

Breaking me
From the outside in
With heavy fists as black as coal,
Biting hard the words begin
And cold as ice they freeze my soul.
You know the power that you have
You keep me in a state of daze
You keep the key to all my strength
And hold me captive, locked away.
For we the same
Are worlds apart
In terms of time and place
And though you are not here right now
Still I see your darkened face
In every crack
In every shadow
You lay in wait for me to sleep,
The perfect time to steal my dreams
And enter in my spirit deep.
