11A ray of hope shines through the darkness
A ray of sunlight could not pass there
Through the cell of secluded loneliness
Only despair could ever reign here
Within the depths of this lonely cell
I reside; I rest and dwell
Through this mist none could pierce
But one ray of light, fast and fierce
It called to me through the gathering gloom
It called to me to save myself from doom
Its call was like a flutter of wings
Quick and light as an angel sings
But I did not answer; I did not reply
To this ethereal call I could not comply
The darkness that blinded me I'd grown to love
No fairy could save me, no call from above
I could not accept that golden call of salvation
That shining, silver light, that lovely invitation
To that beautiful place without pain or fear
All I knew was that I wanted to remain here
Here in the darkness, here in this sorrow
Here in this cell always waiting for tomorrow
I shall remain, desolate and alone
Away from where sunlight once had shone
