Prisoner

My heart speaks your name at day but it screams it at night

It would be easier to let go if everyone said it wasn’t right

When you visit me in my sleep I drown in my dreams

I hope you come back one day and end these silent screams

My legs grow restless cuz they aren’t running back to your face

They are both prisoners of your choice so they simply stay in place

I don’t know what it is about you, but you stop me from being rebellious

Don’t worry, I wont give up, I promise you I wont fail us…

The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
