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.
