Lovely Prison

Sometimes I wonder
If you really understand.
You say that you do,
But you won’t take my hand.

I’ll try to make you happy,
Explain my point of view.
But nothing I say seems
To get through to you.

And I know you can’t help it,
But I’m so afraid
That some day you’ll cave in;
Escape from your cage.

A prison of flesh
Is your biggest fear.
But your prison of flesh
Is what keeps us near…
