The Only Salvation

My will has perished
with heart of freedom diminished
For I am trapped
in a life already mapped

I will die as shame
alone in house of pain
where life's monster lives,
the wicked's turf

My pain's cure
given by lost rope near
and lone space of salvation,
away from hand of dictation

For ceasing flame's light
is deed done right
