Locked in Love

Hold on, just a little more

Across those walls, behind the door

Dreamin’ of your touch, that’s never there

Prisoner of love, caught in despair

Every morning’s a battle, a silent cry

Wishing I could see the glint in your eye

Pregnant with hopes and fears intertwined

My love’s a prison, your past crimes confined

Only an hour, that’s all I get

A fleeting moment, a trembling fret

No touch, just a hug, in cold metal arms

Sending my heart through the prison’s charms

I’m waiting, holding on tight

Through the darkness, to your light

Love’s a prison, but still I stay

Praying for us, another day

Pictures and words, keeping us close

In this lonely, echoing post

Your love in a locked-up frame

Forever longing in this endless game

Children’s laughter, but their father’s gone

Counting pennies, trying to stay strong

Your voice on the line, a fragile sound

Love’s a battle, lost and found

Fees to call, to say I care

Paying for whispers, just to share

A moment’s peace, a fleeting grace

Yearning for the touch I can’t replace

I’m waiting, holding on tight

Through the darkness, to your light

Love’s a prison, but still I stay

Praying for us, another day

Pictures and words, keeping us close

In this lonely, echoing post

Your love in a locked-up frame

Forever longing in this endless game

Would you breathe if I could be near?

Would you wipe away my tears?

Still love, or lost in the storm?

A prison of love keeps us warm

Hold on, just a little more

Beyond those walls, I still adore

Though time and crime keep us apart

You’re forever in my heart
