Prisoner Poem by Maya Hanson

Prisoner

Rating: 4.0


Painful to smile, centuries to speak
I've kept the world out but you're a prisoner now
I handcuff you to the cage I won't break out of
This is older than time, I smile a storm

This is my promise, it's hard to touch
my hands have been tied to this head for so long
You can wish me normal but when I'm next to you
I'll always drag these chains behind me

Even if I'm always tired of being alone
I'm never tired of you, alone with you
Crumble your gold to tuck me away
But look who's a prisoner now

My love is evanescence, fades
into the walls I write you into
They won't crush you if you tell me
how beautiful my chains are

You're the grave I want to bury myself in
Please make me want to burn you down
Live like you want me to believe you
Tell me what you want me to see

Nicely written My love is evanescence, fades into the walls I write you into They won't crush you if you tell me how beautiful my chains are
