Prisoner

When did this room,

A place I found comfort,

Become a prison cell?

The place we used to laugh in

Leaves me joyless.

Where we used to lie together

I curl into a ball in,

Unable to muster the strength

To even sit up.

Dreams of a future came to me here

Now I stare at my phone

Waiting to hear just one word.

Emptiness is all I feel

As the hours and seconds tick by.

When did this go bad?

When did this room

Become my prison cell?
