Imprisoned

Locked up in a cell

Wearing all white

Bloodstains on my hands

Bloodshot eyes

Tape over my lips, eyes blindfolded, hands and legs tied.

I feel a shadow lurking over me,

I smell your scent,

I feel my heart throb

You whisper; I got you, you set me free.

Eyes open, you’re not there.

It’s just me and the thought of you.

Guilty as charged

Committed crimes

Convicted

Set free

But I still feel guilty,

Guilty to have let you go.

I know it’s selfish to keep you all to myself but is it wrong?

"Of course it is!" I convinced myself.

Lucky to have had our paths cross

To have met a friend and lover like you

Now I’m in the middle of the sea stranded, my arms and legs feel heavy. I let go, relax, float and slowly sink I feel a thud my head on the ocean floor the fish and seaweed move in a soft and swift motion above me.

Now I’m Away from all the worries all the thoughts all the distractions.

Tear drops falling from my eyes mixing with the salt water of the ocean. Feel my eyes closing everything keeps becoming dark and the last thing before I see complete darkness is you.

Holding your hand out to me, with that soft smile on your face your eyes glittering I take your hand, swim to the the surface of the water you rescue me. Now my head is resting on your chest, your hand in mine, smiling listening to you talk about your day. How you feel old you live your last year of school through me. I’m happy I see you talk and mutter softly to myself “you’re my home”. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
