Prisoner in Shackles

LostLove

I’m a prisoner in shackles taken to the chamber/ No one guessed but I could have named her/ as an accomplice to arrest her body/ then throw in my cell to lay with me till death.
But still the sins I’ve understood/ are too late to do me any good/ I’d repent now but I’m wishing for the end/ to come like a ship and sail me away from these lonesome harbors.
So strap me in and lean me back/ and inject my veins with poison/ that hurts less than a kiss from lips of lies/ or our last exchange that ended in tears.
My broken heart has softened now/ as I escape into the darkness higher than ever/ you could save me but you choose to hide/ behind a translucent screen to watch my light dim.
And with the last glimpse of shutting eyes/ I turn to see your silhouette/ and remember every inch of your face/ and the memories of lost love that will haunt my eternal sleep.
My murdered body lays victim to the cruelty of love/ as they carry me off into another room/ You have won your freedom at my loss of life/ now you can finally sleep softly.

| Your metaphor of death and lost love is striking. I can really relate to this, but not on the level of lost love, I have not had my first love yet. |
