Lost in lust

I M Babatunde

Prison and jail are synonyms
But prisoner and jailer aren't the same thing
My kindness makes me face my nemesis
And now i'm the victim of this love thing

Set me free
Let me live the life I dreamt of
Let me flee
So I can meet the one I seek for

Don't fall apart
I won't want to be the catalyst behind your broken heart
Because it is the high time we grow apart
