Prisoner of His Own Heart

this wounded man he took a stand and forever chained his heart she took his hand this wounded man promised her love was true her love was heaven sent from God himself above but his heart was heavy with chains that bind this wounded man he walked away left her weary and broken this wounded man he didn’t know that truer words were never spoken this wounded man he could not see the love he had forsaken yet her heart and soul he had taken this wounded man he could not see her undying love was meant to be this wounded man has grown so old and now he is left so all alone this wounded man he thinks of her and his heart it gives a stir this wounded man he thinks of her the love that could have been a tear streams down his wrinkled face memories of her in his clouded mind as once again he is reminded of the love he left behind
