Caught Within

I lay on the floor
Waging bitter war
My porcelain skin
Fades as light dims

A spiral of my own design
Binds my soul every night
This is my plight

I'm caught within
This forgotten dance
Left in this exiled stance

Why won't the past
Forgo its' hand?
Sinking through sand

I wake from my dreams
Etched in memory
They're of you and I
Visions lost to time

I kneel and make this prayer
Trying not to tear
It's not fair

I'm caught within
This forgotten dance
Left in this exiled stance

Why won't the past
Forgo its' hand?
Sinking through sand
