Escaping the Prison
I want to escape from the prison of my mind
that keeps playing your name ...
As a background song,
Your shadows keep lingering in my thoughts.
I thought I buried you in the cemetery of my heart,
But, no, you always resurrect and
I am slowly losing the strength to fight with the spirit
of your memories—good and bad,
Will I ever escape from the prison that you've built in my mind?
You are nowhere, yet you remain present when I close my eyes in the night,
I can still feel your close grip around my waist,
Your arms surrounding me.
Why does the world get shredded into pieces?
The home disowned that we've built brick by brick,
I can feel the ghosts of your memories screaming,
Will I ever find peace?
Won't you set me free?
Your thoughts keep haunting me every night.
This is not a dream,
And I cannot wake up from that dream.
Please let me move on.
Set me free.
