Make it Write

Halfway

The soft light of morning

Penetrates my unmoving body

Sleep gradually disappears

I struggle to return to my dreams

I live alone in my underwater castle

Dawn approaches on tiptoes

I am prisoner in my treasure-filled palace

The melancholy feeling of morning arrives

The ruby-encrusted skeletons of past inhabitants

Stroll with me through the unkempt courtyards

The chirps of daybreak

Are merely threatening echoes in the distance

The ivy slowly crawls

To escape the boundaries of my kingdom

But I am forever trapped

 "I am a drop of blood. I am a precious jewel. I am Ruby Lennox"
