Alone of my own making
I cannot let you in.
I sit in silent suffering
The doors are locked again.

It's all from the beginning,
Her hands did not bring light.
A dawning without comforting
Has left me locked up tight.

And I can't get out,
though the key is in my hand.
The gate is there before me.
I have not the strength to stand.

And I can't break free,
Although I see my paradise.
The prison bars will be
The only arms 'round me.
