Prisoner Of Love Poem by Yassar Ali

Why do I care whether you're here or not?
You were my everything and now you're not
You were the sun that gave my day light
You were the moon that brightened my night
Like a scaffold you were my backbone
You healed me like the skin when it's torn
You were my mind providing me a vision
With memories serving as a fuelled provision
You were the feeling that I never felt before
Now you're gone I won’t feel it anymore
You showed me someone who’s marriage material
But it turned out your existence was surreal
I used to feel at peace with you by my side
But now I feel something inside me has died
I can’t take a step forward in this broken land
Without you there to hold onto my hand
I used to wake up with only you in mind
I guess it's true that love really is blind
You were my lover and also a friend
It's a tragedy that it's all come to an end
You gave a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on
You were the best thing in my life and now you’re gone
Knowing that I still love you is the worst part
Because if you ever returned I’d still give you my heart
