Never letting their faces slip past
The dangerous dungeons
Of my impressionable mind
And vigilant eyes
Was my first mistake

My mind is as overbearing as
An overprotective guardian
Too tired to accommodate
And at the same time
Too generous to say "no"

Never letting go of the emotions,
That came to this hellhole
Like unannounced visitors
Hiding them all well,
Was my second mistake

Now, the Sweet and sour memories,
They now hold on tight
Out of spite
Refusing to let loose
Of their suddenly hostile host

Now, I wonder
Am I a prisoner of my own mind?
Locked in with faces
And dark traces
Of elusive emotions
