Other Side

My soul Simply won’t stop bleeding Coal blackened walls Surround my prison Cold and callous I have been stung by bees I need an escape Some way out of it all But what is there to do? The feelings and emotion in me They set the prison The prison you run All I need is a hole A way out into the world This prison of hate is killing me inside The time it’s taking to slip out of your shackles Is time I don’t have This prison used to be so comfortable But then you left You left with the keys to these locks around my ankles It’s clear you aren’t coming back I should just give up and never look back That’s what I’ll do I end this misery and go to the other side of the wall I’m to weak to take off the shackles that bound me But I’m not to weak to end all of the pain I’ll end my pain with the shards of glass in my once perfect heart I’ll go out peacefully knowing I was once in love I will go and leave you to him You seem to want him But one day you’ll see You’ll see what you missed out on You’ll see when he hurts you And you have no one to run to Don’t try and look for me I will be gone But look inside your heart Into the depths of your soul And I will be there Waiting Shackles off Happy on the other side With out youone of the poems my boyfriend, Eric wrote Written January 6th, 2002 © on Jan 06 2002 12:35 PM PST    18 • 0 • 1
