The Prisoner

I am trying so hard
to escape. The image
of you serves as my warden,
my guard, my cell and these
cold bars that imprison my heart.

Sentenced for life, I will
do my time alone amidst
the darkness of an unfathomable
future without you.

The enforcer of this emotional
confinement are the Polaroids of my mind;
the haunting thought of your smile.
I shall never escape.

Oh Jeff, this has such emotions and pain in it.
Very, very good writing. Thanks for sharing.
