Take Me To Another Place

Take me to another place 
So I can see another sky
I can see your pretty face
And all the birds are flying high

All my hopes are slim to none
All throughout the passing day
I wait and wait for you to come
While the children stay away

Years of darkness in this cell
With only critters coming by
No one hears me when I yell
“Why oh why can’t I?”

The chain around is tight and thick
A rash begins to form on me
If only I can make it quick
Even if I beg and plea

Your gaze if fine and heart is pure
As you look at me again
When you come I can’t be sure
But when you do I’ll see you then

    The world she knew would disappear in the haze.
    How long would she dream of water and land?
    How long would she hope for an azure hand?

    If only she knew of the dangers in toll,
