[hometext] => I wrote this as a song, and to stay true to the original intent decided not to alter the format but instead to leave the / marks in. Thanks for reading this since I just lost my 3 yr relationship to a phone call from across the sea. Comments?
[bodytext] => I’m a prisoner in shackles taken to the chamber/ No one guessed but I could have named her/ as an accomplice to arrest her body/ then throw in my cell to lay with me till death. But still the sins I’ve understood/ are too late to do me any good/ I’d repent now but I’m wishing for the end/ to come like a ship and sail me away from these lonesome harbors. So strap me in and lean me back/ and inject my veins with poison/ that hurts less than a kiss from lips of lies/ or our last exchange that ended in tears. My broken heart has softened now/ as I escape into the darkness higher than ever/ you could save me but you choose to hide/ behind a translucent screen to watch my light dim. And with the last glimpse of shutting eyes/ I turn to see your silhouette/ and remember every inch of your face/ and the memories of lost love that will haunt my eternal sleep. My murdered body lays victim to the cruelty of love/ as they carry me off into another room/ You have won your freedom at my loss of life/ now you can finally sleep softly.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
