Prisoner of Grief

I've become a prisoner of grief
From which there seems no relief

Sadness and loneliness fill my heart
It's been this way since we've been apart

Eight months ago you passed away
I think the sorrow I feel is here to stay

My true feelings hid deep down inside
Not letting others see the many tears i've cried

So I remain a prisoner of grief
All because death stole you like a thief
