Love Poem: My Prison

My Prison

My tears hit the dusty wood floor 
I think of you and wish I did not love any more 
My heart cries for you as well 
I can’t forget you though I went through hell 

The pain is nothing compared to the love I felt 
If I could make you feel the same way, your ice heart would surly melt 
I sit alone at night as sure as the wind will blow 
My mind is dark with thoughts as the fire bugs glow 

A lonely prison is where I sit called remorse and pain 
My cell mate is misery and the guard is insane 
I have been doing time for so long now 
Wish to escape to a happy place, but don’t know how 

So often I watch the peaceful birds float on by 
If I sleep hard enough, I too can fly  
In this land of my slumbering make-believe, 
You’re a queen of the land and you never leave 

I too share with you as the king of this land 
But time goes fast and my eyes lose the sleeping sand 
I am always waking up in misery’s cell  
 
Will I ever be free from you? 
Only God knows and time will tell
