Love Has Held Me Here Poem by Audrey Marie Kay

today was not the day.
im hurting inside.
i want you to pay.
and that i cant hide.

dealing with this now.
can only hurt me more.
someone show me how.
to slam the heartache door.

heartache i have spoken
and now hear the speech
there is no coin or token
just my heart to breech.

love has held me here
like a prison wall and chain.
my heart i can not steer
and in this i feel pain.

denial all around me.
hope is falling fast.
please dont look to see
for me my time has passed

now i look at you.
sad at my grave.
i would be crying too
but through this be brave.

move along, say goodbye
dont think or choose to join.
it will be hard but try.
i know you will pay the coin.

love had held me here
like a prison wall and chain.
ive cried my last tear
and now i feel no pain.
