my prison

once in a while, you're still able
to work your ways on my prison
as if I gave you the code
so you can come in and out
anytime you want

I don't suppose it's a provision
of our parting agreement
when we dissolved our connections
when we decided to kill love
knowing that it was still alive

I did say when we move on
we'd never look back
nor wish any other way, but forward
I remember you said, I was the best
and I told you, too, that so were you
the one I'd have loved forever

now we both know, nothing stays the same
even my prison will evolve
and the code you hold will change
because I am sure, pretty soon
I'll be in isolation
where nothing exists but memories.
