PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Cold snakeskin

Closing in around my throat

Tighter and tighter,

Yet I can’t move to stop it



(Let me go)

(Let me live)



A straight jacket binds me,

Suffocates me, preserves me

Mummifies me for eternity

Wrapped in your satin words



(Let me move)

(Let me breathe)



Release my broken wings

Shattered bones to fragments

Crushed under the weight of a broken heart

And the burden of my love for you





(Let me heal)

(Let me fly)



Loosen your death grip on my ravaged soul

Give me a chance to start again

Set me free of this wretched cocoon

So I can be me again



(Let me walk)

(Let me think)



Lying here alone and cold

Broken and bent out of shape

Blind and numb to the world



(Let me feel again)

(Let me see again)

(Let me be again)
