Trapped

Trapped in the moments
I had with you
Trapped in the memories
You share with me to
Trapped in my home
With no where to go
Trapped inside myself
From how things were a long time ago
Trapped within for which
There's no way out
Trapped from sweet freedom
This I have no doubt
Trapped it's so quiet now
Shhh careful don't make a sound
Trapped because loneliness can and will
Put you six feet underground
Trapped by the screaming in my head
That's all I now hear
Trapped with the belief that
With this next one this will be the tear
I cry
Trapped because I know all to well
That's a lie
Trapped with no sense of reason or rational
My God, I feel like I'm living in hell
Trapped here with trying to conceive
Just why we had felt the need to leave
Trapped with the flashing before my eyes I see
You there smiling back at me
Trapped by believing I'll someday be free
That I'll break through this and it will be you that finds me
Trapped by the emotions
I felt when our eyes met causing a deep gaze
Trapped by the constant running of this maze
Trapped because I see everything so clearly
Trapped because it's just a haze
Trapped feeling more amazed
How I let my life become such a daze
Trapped here feeling by many I was left behind
Trapped here knowing I'm losing my mind
Trapped praying for help
Because I know for certain I can't do it by myself
Trapped here with all the time I need
To get things done yet with nothing to do
Trapped by the reminder
Tomorrow I'll still be here feeling even more blue
Trapped here besides myself with the knowledge of
Still being in love with you
