Alcatraz Coffee

Laughingly, I need more
Like most walls of a prison
This thing I so desperately want is behind the bar
Slightly out of reach
being served to me by someone who knows
how badly I want it
They know I cannot leave
That I have wants
and needs
that are eating away at who I am
They know they keep the answer to my desire
and slowly torture me with coy smiles
as I wait
I am simply wanting what they have
as I move through the line
waiting patiently
one step at a time
These gaurds know they hold me captive
making me look at all these things I could want
but they know, as do I
that my deepest
darkest
most sinful desire
only makes me a prisoner
