Supposed to be a love poem…

How is it you can take my breath away?
Yet keep me alive inside

Your divine asylum

Your eyes I love them

The predatory gaze

You gave

Sets my mind ablaze

With thoughts

That amaze me

With a touch of fear

That creeps along my mind

As I realize

Your stare

Threatens to devour

All that is me

 
 

How is it possible that you put me in chains?

Locked away with no key

And all that remains

Is this feeling

Of being so much more

Than free

Shackles never felt so soft…

Chains never so weightless…

The touch of terror again...

Because more oft than not

When I've been held aloft

By these delightful thoughts

I find myself falling

To the ground

And crawling

Battered and broken

Shaking and calling

And I won't move forward

Because my heart keeps stalling...
