Paper prison



Exanging letters
Days getting better
Slowly getting lesser
Are you certain you want to upset her?

Time flies by, the past still linger
Grabbing to the littilest piece of hope
For it all to get better
Can you still cope?

Stuck looking at these papers full of your words
Upsets me how you left me and flew free like the birds
Like a prisoner in my mind desperately waiting for you
Still looking for hope but I am nothing but blue

Starting to get sick and tired but you are all that's in my mind
Recalling to me that you were non thing but kind
Was I all for you to humor or did I just go crazy, it's just all so bizzare
Yet the melody still play in my memory as you play your guitar

Men in my country asks for my hand
Yet I still await for you to appear in this land
Oh why did my dear dissappear like ashes
Do you think I was there with you for cashes?

How bitterely sweet memories are
In this prison you are far as a star
Will you ever come back to me oh my sunshine?
Or was I just used and forgotten like a small design?
