Prison of My Heart
Everywhere that I look, I see your face,
Everywhere that I go, I hear your voice.
Tears well in my eyes, and stream down my face,
To see you again, if I had the choice.
You're all around me, yet nowhere near me,
Dearest darling, why must love hurt so hard?
I wish to see you, I wish to be free,
From this barbed wire prison of my heart.
It cuts deep into my soul, this prison,
You are forever engraved on my heart,
Without you, I am but half a person.
To perfect love, is a delicate art.
I never really wanted love before,
Now, I've never wanted anyone more.
Everywhere that I go, I hear your voice.
Tears well in my eyes, and stream down my face,
To see you again, if I had the choice.

I wish to see you, I wish to be free,
From this barbed wire prison of my heart.
It cuts deep into my soul, this prison,
You are forever engraved on my heart,
Without you, I am but half a person.
To perfect love, is a delicate art.
I never really wanted love before,
Now, I've never wanted anyone more.

It rings true to me at least, that tormenting feeling to be in love and not feel love back. The truth from here is stinging, the lines and flow all go well. Just my opinions, I think it's a nicely done way of relating that feeling that is said sadly but sweetly.

Love the last lines
Really hits home how love can be unfortunately painful as well as joyful
I guess no one can have one without the other during such processes of togetherness

It's always hard when love ends. We wish it will come back to us. This was very nicely written. I could feel your pain...xo

I am glad to hear that you enjoyed this particular work, and thank you for your sympathy. Fortunately though, this is not a love that has ended, simply the musings of a lovesick heart. :)
