Trapped in your past

Trapped in your past

I heard last week that you found love

The knife in my heart leaves no blood

The pain is a past pleasure

My heart skips a beat for a moment

My heart stops for a lifetime

The pain is twenty years old

The pain happened yesterday

Your words still hold meaning

No matter the new love, I question

I just don’t know the answer

The sweet cut of your emotions

The lies you told me still bind

I am bound

My prison is self imposed

My sentence will never end

I am judge and jury

I am stuck with a life sentence

I can’t even ask you to release me

You have already let me go
