Lost in Purgatory

Vast emptiness enguls me,
all around, is there nothing to see?

With the world, have I lost touch?
Can I feel? Not very much.

Am I alive or dead?
I must stay here is what they said.

I remember my last words,
or what I think I thought I heard.

Everywhere my eyes see grey.
All around, and me? I'm here to stay?

Slowly they surround me,
I kneel upon my knee.

I ask if they will forgive me,
and so, I'm told my final fee.

It's loneliness I must endure..
Can there be one last cure?
I look and see that they have gone,
no one left for me to con.

All alone I walk in solitude.
Never in a cheerful mood.

Being alone, my greatest fear.
And I cry one last tear.

I'm longing to reach out.
Theirs no one here to hear me shout.

Is this pain what I deserve?
Can I ask, do I have the nerve?

Suddenly all around me, a wall is closing.
Then I wake in time, for I was only dosing.

I can still hear, in my mind, the scream.
Gladly it was all an unhappy dream.
