<b>My Prison<b>

Trapped like some mongrel dog
I wait on your beckon call
No need for chains around my neck
For in my own mind my chains are there

There is no use to put bars on my windows
I am not going anywhere
I'm too tired to run
And yet I still peer through to the other side

And if I was given parol
I would yet request to stay
For I know nothing else
Forced to leave.. I would only return

This is all I know
My imprisoned existance
I wanted to be captured
I am but a prisoner to my heart

My Prisoner

Was he a prisoner
if I asked him to stay?
Was he a prisoner
if he loved me anyway?
Was he my prisoner
when he claimed he'd never leave?
Was he my prisoner
when I provided him his needs?
Was he a prisoner
if I kept the whip away?
Was he a prisoner
if I let him get away?

The prisoner has escaped
for he was a prisoner of my love.
He never said he'd ever leave,
but he did, he did and he went above.
He went above my head
and said
that he'd be back soon.
He went above my expectations,
for he left me for the moon.

Now I am the prisoner.
The prisoner of anticipation.

:D

Torturous Kingdom

I've been a prisoner for many years now
Locked inside these walls so tight
No matter how I've tried to escape
This prison puts up a better fight

Can't cross through these metal bars
That keep me just one step away from freedom
I'm locked inside this jailcell
Forever locked in this torturous kingdom

Some sick people love this place
They say it's the place of love itself
The constant sound of a heartbeat
Makes me want to kill myself

This cell, dimly lit by the sun poking through my small window
Is slowly driving me insane
I can't even remember why I'm here
Or who put me here, his name

I've been a prisoner for many years now
I think it's time for a new start
I must escape from this torturous kingdom
I must escape my heart




LOL......just read urs before i pasted this Becky....they do say great minds think alike!

Bound

chained...
and blindfolded,
deep in the
recess of my soul
i seek for the light
yet i could not see.

bound...
and gagged,
within the
chambers of my heart
i shout for the truth
yet i could not make a sound.

shackled...
and tortured,
all over my
lifeless body
i fight for freedom
yet i could not move

imprisoned by your hatred
i die a little each day
waiting for the day
when you could forgive me
and give me back
my freedom to live.
Live Life, Love Life

Love's Prisoner

Bound by chains of light
Confined by walls of roses
I cannot find the strength of flight
My soul does not want to leave
It's finally happy here
My body cries in pain
The pain that was brought unto me by you
You locked me in this prison while you're away
You didn't want to lose me
Blinded by candy, flowers, and tender words
You kept me here
It's time for me to open my eyes
To realize that it only hurts me to be here
I need to be released from this prison of love
Let me live my life
I forgive you for abusing me
But I beg you, please let me go
I'm tired of being in your prison of love


I know this could have been better, but I'm at work and I'll try harder next week. :wink:

Imprisoned

I run my hands across bars
Cold, smooth, and strong
Something keeping me back
For so long.
Alone in a room
One bed and one sink
With one hard cement floor
Nothing to do but think.
Everyday forever
With one thing in mind
My horrible mistake
Leaving everything behind.
Same room same clothes
Alone with nothing to do
I am in prison
Because I killed you.

prisioner

within my mind im stuck,
at the end of the rope, out of luck.
day by day only bread and water to stay alive.
made an awful decision, trapped behind my eyes.

free falling, down a ladder, yet never reaching the end.
crying, till im tired, death shall be my friend.
shakles, entagling me, choke to death,
only to wake up, in stripes, on my bed.

black and white, its all i see,
behind these bars i call my eyes,
drowning in my own self-made sea.
only time will tell, if i make it out of this place alive.

trapped

being locked up
frearing for my life
not knowing what is coming
being the devil's strive

looking around
make sure hes not here
hoping to God
that i over come this fear.

keeping me trapped
telling me that i will die
i open my eyes
i am only a prisoner in my mind.

Justified Decision

With each tear that fell
an ocean of water built up underneath me.
This must be meant to be.
I held your head under water until you took your last breath.
The water in your lungs confirmed your death.

A justified decision landed me in my cell.
Im staring at the cracks in the ceiling, this is my hell.
I stare through the walls, hoping to see them bury you six feet under.
Im not a violent guy, but what you did to me i had to justify.

Lonely days are now my fate.
I'm alone in a pool of hate.
This room is so dark, so cold.
I lay on the floor with nothing to hold.

So maybe i deserve this for what i did.
But if i didnt, i'd be a prisoner to your hatred.
So who's to say whats wrong or right
when your feelings are so strong and ready to ignite.

Anyone in my shoes would have done the same.
Atleast thats what i tell myself.
It's easier that way.

I couldnt tell you how many times i thought about what i did.
Im a prisoner, but i havent surrendered, no not yet.
I smile at the cold steel bars.
There is nothing that i regret.
