Incarcerated Emotions

Each night laying here all alone in my cell
My emotions and thoughts put me through hell
Making me regret the choices tearing us apart 
Leaving emptiness and pain to fill up my heart 

I had to hide all the emotions I would feel 
The way I hidden behind concrete and steel
Days last eternities as they rip at my soul
And through it all I’m forced to keep control 

It’s a heart wrenching journey without any hope
One some will end dangling from a piece of rope
If I make it through one day I will leave this hell
But I will to myself how many silent tears fell
