Memory Prison

There is no prison as strong as my memory of you.
It holds me tight and has no doors that I may go through.
On lonely nights I gaze out through the bars
And stare and wish upon the stars.
I went to hell and back for you.
It was the least that I could do.
You taught me how to dream again.
I just didn't know how to begin.
Then you tore it all away,
Though I begged you please to stay.
And now I find myself so trapped because,
There is no prison as strong as my memory of you.
It holds me tight and has no doors that I may go through.
On lonely nights I gaze out through the bars
And stare and wish upon the stars.

Thank you. I've learned there is no prison worse than the one we place ourselves in.

Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
