Exploring Birdsong - The Sinking Question

Left on my own
What did I do wrong? To
deserve this shame
I hear a voice
I'm left with no choice
To observe their games
Outside there lies a life
I dare not fantasise
Yet I ask whyI've not learnt
Why I'm left to cryWhy I'm left to yearn
For what I'll never have

My body creeks
I follow their shrieks
Past my wooden walls
I see them there They're
without a care Stood
straight and tall
Outside I feel the life
I would not dare describe
I might have known
That here on my own
My days would fill with the empty

My questions sink And all
I do is blink At the
clouded moon

The river calls
The devil he crawls
But I have attuned
Outside I know there's life
Beyond my sunken eyes
My body's bent
And all my time is spent
Being teased with my freedom
