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
