Escaping the Prison

I want to escape from the prison of my mind

that keeps playing your name …

As a background song,

Your shadow 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 the dream.

Please let me move on.

Set me free.

Oh, the audacity of leaving the person you love! To walk away with steady feet, While their heart still trembles

Silently, I have loved you for decades, Silently, I have chanted your name for thousand times. I have scripted an
