Ma Ma, Da Da,
were the only people
I ever knew I could love
until I met him.
From infant to adult
now I have to part
from the child I used to be
to the adult I am.
That day our lips parted away
as did my heart, emotions,
and my life.
Prison.
not only is he there
my heart, emotions,
and life are all locked inside.
Now all I know,
all I want to scream
as I did when I was an infant
Ma Ma, Da Da.
Nobody is hearing me?
How can I be shut away?
everything is closed up
I cant breath,
I cant think,
never again can I love.
Fine then dont answer,
my pain driven screams!
I dont need you anymore.
Even though he is gone,
my love is not!
My heart, my emotions,
and life are all locked inside,
with him.

Wonderful
I thought you captured your love really well. You clearly showed that even when someone is gone your love can stay so strong. I like how you used imprisonment to also explain your emotions, i thought this a really powerful description. My favourite stanza certainly has to be the first one, It just hit my heart for some reason. Congratulations on a great write and I send you all my best wishes.
