Trapped

How did I get here?: the walls closing in.
Guilty of a deplorable act, an unpardonable sin.
I wanted you more than life itself.
Now I am chained to your altar with every breath.

That which appeared as a blessing from on high;
Engulfs my being like a plague, with no cure in sight.
To be with you was my wondrous vision.
Now I must call it an impenetrable prison;

Doing a life sentence, trapped by your love.

In solitary confinement gripped by despair, bound by gloom.
Memories of happiness turned into nightmares of doom.
Awaiting for the day the judge issues a pardon,
That which I counted priceless, I'd gladly give for a bargain.

Trapped, Trapped by a love which is now lost,
Desiring to be free, no matter the cost.
