Fingerprints.

Clammy, my hands
The window cold.
The light, pale light
Shining on you.

Your face, so bright
And yet so sad,
Severed us, they did
Took away our only comfort
So we will fight
We will bite
We will stand up for what is right

I gaze across at you,
Knowing you're safe,
Praying you'll stay
Until the end.

Wondering how long
Before I am free,
A caged beast,
But whilst you're here,
Calmer, stronger.

Love cannot be shaken
The chains they bind us with must be broken
And we will be reunited once more
For love will break down those doors.
