Trapped in chains that tear and bite
gouging out my heart at night,
wrenching from them is futile
wrapping around mile after mile,
never more to be set free
someone threw away the key,
ugly thoughts invade my brain
slowly driving me insane,
bloodied fingers pick the lock
steady ticking of the clock,
thirty feet below the sea
nobody to hear my plea.

Hmmm... As I've said to a few other poets, I'm not a fan of rhymr. But even still, yours is well-penned and eloquent, not sounding forced or cheesy for an instant. That, and the picture suits this perfectly... It reminded me of that scene in Phantom of the Opera, where Raoul gets trapped in that water-dam thing... Very creepy, but still good. Well done, and thanks for entering.
