Helpless, Hopeless

Bound in chains, unbreakable. Behind bars, unbendable. In a concrete room, impenetrable. With a door, impervious. With a lock, unpickable. My blue eyes dimmed to a saddened grey as they have become accustomed to this darkness. My arms, once free to hold and touch as they pleased, restrained from the passion they long for. From shoulder to wrist they are covered in cuts and blood as the flesh was rended apart in my struggle to free myself. The bitter blood drips from my finger tips onto the cold floor below as I stare at nothing, with an all too familiar feeling of despondence biting at the dying husk that once was my own soul. I had become obsolete, a worthless memory from a happier time.
My only escape from this harsh reality lies in a single picture of you. A picture with which all my happiness and sanity lie. A picture in which you wear a smile that I once gave to you. I can barely even see it anymore. My strength is burned by the strain of just trying to catch a glimpse of such perfection in the taunting shade.
Escaping is an exercise in futility. I can barely even move my arms much less escape the cage that keeps me stationary. The bars cradle me like a harsh mother with a deathgrip on her helpless child. I try to cry, but there are no tears left to cry. I try to scream out in anger, but anger won't break these chains. I try to accept my fate but I feel like there must be more.
You are my captor, my judge and jury, my warden, my executioner. You have the key to these chains, this cage, and the door. If I remain here in this state I will surely die. Bring me my heart, and unlock this cage.
