Sanctury

Sanctuary

 

Not one flicker of hope;

So devoid of emotion

And compassion,

A cold compress of revenge.

The silence has me crushed.

Twelve days and nights,

A life sentence pronounced

And no cause for appeal.

Am I to be your prisoner?

A probationary community sentence

Till I am truly reformed

Or sent back to jail.

How can true passion be so

Unless built on melting ice?

Anger? I think not

Fear of me? Not cause enough.

Cold inner withdrawal the truth.

An ability to bury emotion

And hide away

Behind the psychological castle walls

In the sanctuary you have created.
