My Fortress

Once everything is taken away,
You think of only how to get it back,
In my fortress here I stay,
In my world all is black,

The things I did to lose it all,
I really cannot say,
Most of which I can't recall,
But my world is gone today,

In my head thoughts swirl around,
Within my castle's gloom,
Do they really make a sound,
Or do I hear my doom?

The time that passes I do not know,
And I can never fall asleep,
The pain I feel I cannot show,
I can't bring myself to weep,

Once everything is taken away,
You think only of how to get it back,
In my fortress here I stay,
In my world all is black,
