My Prison

My tears hit the dusty wood floor I think of you and wish I did not love any more My heart cries for you as well I can’t forget you though I went through hell The pain is nothing compared to the love I felt If I could make you feel the same way, your ice heart would surly melt I sit alone at night as sure as the wind will blow My mind is dark with thoughts as the fire bugs glow A lonely prison is where I sit called remorse and pain My cell mate is misery and the guard is insane I have been doing time for so long now Wish to escape to a happy place, but don’t know how So often I watch the peaceful birds float on by If I sleep hard enough, I too can fly In this land of my slumbering make-believe, You’re a queen of the land and you never leave I too share with you as the king of this land But time goes fast and my eyes lose the sleeping sand I am always waking up in misery’s cell Will I ever be free from you? Only God knows and time will tell
