Imprisoned
January 18th 2010 01:22
Yesterday, I pretended to be myself,
I was pretty and savvy, wild and free,
but then my chains came for me
they clanked and walked
jangled and talked,
they locked on, sweaty warm,
my flesh left inside the cuffs
from the last time I tore loose.
I look at them, unbelieving,
I ran so far I ran so fast,
still, I never knew free.
And its then, I realize,
you can't love me.
Surely, this you can see,
for if you loved me pure and deep
this horror, this prison,
you could not keep,
if love you truly had for me
then you'd let me go free
instead of clamping tighter the chains,
checking thoroughly all the locks,
berating me for all escapes, NO!
If you loved me
this you could not do,
so, I can't be expected to love you now,
jailer
just watch with weary eyes
senses keen to percieve....
The next escape.
