You left me here, in the recess of my mind



You left me here, in the recess of my mind
You left me here, in the recess of my mind
Believing I would be alone in the darkness

To cower and suffocate with tangled thoughts
Like creeping tendrils to embrace me in my end

Misty waters dank and slow stirring internal pools
My soul laid naked and only loneliness aside me

False! I share this place with all my ancestors
They whisper wisdom and fill spaces roundly

Like reservoirs, dark though they may appear
They reflect light, love and compassion

Only your perception deceives you, blinds you
I see, I feel and I will not perish and will thrive

Gratitude I owe you, strange that it will seem
To imprison me you have freed me forever
