Prisoners of My Mind

My eyes today cry tears of sorrow Foreshadowing a future of sad tomorrows A single rose placed on a wooden box Between Bible pages are pressed some locks Memories of a first shared kiss Three small words that I'm sure to miss Are all there is that is left behind Which always will be prisoners of my mind

This poem is well-written and conveys feelings of loss that I'm sure many people can relate to. A lot of people have lost loved ones and a lot of people cherish the words and moments shared with their lost loved ones. I like this poem :) Thank you for sharing it.
