Stuck here,
in a limbo of fate's making,
I merely dangle along,
making no mark,
leaving only a legacy of conflicted afflictions.
Mared reflections,
glare back
from a mirror of no compassion,
blinding my view
of where I am.
Stark reality,
looms and taunts-
a mocking of unfullfilled hopes,
echoing in a silent laughter
that deafens my ears.
No hope,
when hope is abducted
by thieves in my nights.
Bound and gagged,
I am drug away.
Held for a ransom
no one can easy afford-
I remain confined, captured,
in this,
the nowhere abyss.
