Behind The Walls.....

Draped in silence
A dark night falls
A heart hides back
Within the walls
The outside stroll
Had not been kind
You've lost again!
Thus taunts the mind

With lingering fear
Of a loss again
The words dried up
Thoughts were vain
Someone plays
From up far high
Some notes of lute
Of sobs and sigh

Deep in the woods
Of poison trees
A soul shivers
In icy breeze
Amidst the thorns
A bird bleeds out
It had fought to live
But lost the bout

Out there they laugh
In a shrieking sound
In a drunken state
Of joy profound
Behind the walls 
The heart pretends
It can bear all pain
If it never ends
