Prisoner, by MwsR

Pain I release you from me

I have captured you, it seems

You are there in the morning

There at night

No one knows it, because you are hid behind my light.

You have been abused,

I have kept you in the shadows

Reaching for you only when need be

Only when, his face, I see

I often think you were the innocent part

The one who wanted to leave but I did not allow it

I have held onto you like a good book.

One for which I often take a look at.

I should have let you go because I had other prisoners of my own

The sadness is one for which I have gave it a home.

Fear is always near, never venturing far away.

Love wants to stay here forever, I don’t know why she does.

I just have so many and this is so hard to say.

They all have their own address and one leads to his door,

The other is the one for which I often explore.

So pain, I am trying to let you go, slowly.

I promise it won’t be easy for you have been here so long

But I often will look for you, once you are gone.

I hope you can find another place that keeps you as a reminder,

Instead of a prisoner

I regret keeping you but some day I will meet you again.

Until then…

MwsR
