My world is my own

The world is my prison and life is my crime
To live so alone till the end of all time
I long for the days where one we would be
I yearn for the times when my soul you did free

Life is no more than a game for the soul
And love is the prize the only true goal
The hopes and the dreams that only you give
The food for my soul the reason to live

My world is my own come and lay by my side
Our love is so pure so why should we hide
To share what we have in the way that we do
My world is my own but my love is for you

Never alone with a you by my side
No more need I suffer no more need I hide
I gave you a love that was meant for no other
A love that sets free and not meant to smother

So I dream of a time where my life had a meaning
Our feelings wrapped tight in a blanket unseeing
The butterflies fly in my tummy each day
I hope and I pray that forever they’ll stay

My world is my own come and lay by my side
Our love is so pure so why should we hide
To share what we have in the way that we do
My world is my own but my love is for you

i have to admit i felt the emotion was well written, however, as soon as i opened the reply box and read what you have ... about the airlines and certain bags i started to smile and giggle.. and totally forgot what it was i wanted to say about the poem...
:-) thanks so much for sharing this.

A fabulous piece of writing Steve that I enjoyed so very much.  It deserves to be back on top.

I loved your rhyme scheme. Every word at the end of a sentence rhymed with the following and so on. It was so natural, the blend was right on. I read this aloud and it sounded as great as it did just reading it silently. I can't praise this high enough. Kie
