The Prisoner of Zenda...

 Not just the mighty have fallen,
     not all have heard the call
sometimes it is not far to fall
     before you hit the bottom
How many fathoms to the deep,
     high and desolate the Keep,
how long shall Echo's willows weep
     at the water's edge?

My dreams are bubbles made of tears
     filled with foolish hope
always bursting 'round my ears
     and yet like i fool i fall each time
believing words told me
     as i wait and pine
for the dream, the wish, the hope
    that has never been mine
if only in my mind's eye
     i can believe for a short time
till i am again struck blind with grief
    at the loss, the disbelief
will i never be released
     always chained to my prison wall?
