Prisoner of Love

Silent prisoner

Realizes her lover is no longer into her

Her pride hides her fear

She goes breathless when he’s near

 

She claims her heart is covered in armor and gear

but I know that it has been destroyed

within the past three years

She’s now a prisoner of love

scared to find it again

She doesn’t want her heart abused and caved in

 

Darkness is all she sees in that jail cell

I’m hoping this isn’t a walkway to saying farewell

I wish she gets better soon

(drops coin down wishing well)

Prisoner of love is innocent

That second date?

She should not have gone
