My Prison Poem by Kathryn Garner

ive got all the recordings
to meld me to the memories
shes looks out the window pane
the site that meets her is still the same
the pupils that purst pain

feel the throbbing under the bruise
feel that ruined pulse convulse
and know ive got nothing to loose

imprisioned by bars
imprisioned in a heart
imprisioned by hearts
never thought id go this far
never thought we'd fall apart
with a separation of love
knowing the year isnt near done
to move on or waste away?
to wait or make a jail break
both drunken wishes knowing whats at stake
cant soberly make a choice
just let to corpses beat down my voice

held captive in these years
lover held captive by the beers

break out, break away, break laws, break me
break living, break love, break hearts, break me
these people break me with bars
never changing, lifes never and always changing

were nothing in a cell
and for the souls id sell
if i had a soul to give
if i had a life to live
broken apart by bars, bleeding
that break us so far, but hear me screaming

hear the rants in the camps
concentrating on all my faults
[i think im going to break]
we choke when the pulse halts
from marching to the invasion of my mind
stories starting to unwind
whats real, what did i breath life into
whats my melody
give me the lies, kill the truth
because my pulse has no use

its a morbid bass against these walls
im admiring the eyes fall
feel my heart stall
feel the pulse kill
i know my love cant feel
anymore
seeing through this prison
my eyes are now living
for the rest of me
another part of me
