The best prison
Allows one thought
And that boo
You have brought
Me how we
Are not alike
How maybe oneday
You might understand
Until then understand
That I was
You 30 years
Ago before I
Was ever me
The best prison
Allows one thought
And that boo
You have brought
Me how we
Are not alike
How maybe oneday
You might understand
Until then understand
That I was
You 30 years
Ago before I
Was ever me
Do you not
Understand how hard
It is to
Choose nothing rather
Than something knowing
That the two
Of you won’t
Ever be what
You want and
Giving way to
What might be
Rather than clutching
To what isn’t
Let go die
Or start anew
Love does love
Love also hurts
If upon ceasing
The absent love
Does not hurt
It wasn’t love
A mirage perhaps
Not an oasis
Maybe a cloudburst
Not a cyclone
Love leaves things
Different than before
If you haven’t
Changed then you
Simply haven’t loved
