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
