I Imprisoned My Heart

Being tugged at pulled apart
Every time I tried to start
My life over I'd just fail
I put myself in a jail
Of despair- no escape key
A life sentence if for me
Imprisoned by a deadly past
My hearts broken from the blast
Of love criminals who shot
 Hurtful bullets through my heart
I would bleed sorrow and sadness
No escaping from this madness
Shutting down was a way
Not to live this everyday
My heart safely in a cell
NO one gets through-- it is hell
To keep going on like this
There is no way to dismiss
The verdict given to me
A life of lonely misery
