Lockdown
the first time ever I saw your face
I laughed out loud at your twitching mustache
and dancing soft gentle eyes
you teased me
and made me blush
and made me forget a
heart battered and bruised by life
your smile became my hope
and I in turn awakened you from a long, long sleep
self-enforced heart prison
in mourning still for one who had died
and now the tables have turned, my love
and you are fighting for your life
and you have chosen to push me away
millions of heart miles between us
self-imposed-imprisonment
emotions on lockdown
and still, I refuse to give up hope
I force myself upon your lonely heart
and make you angry
because I won’t go away
the first time ever I saw your face
I knew I would hold you in my heart forever
