Prisoner to Desire

Folder: 
Tributes to Lovers

You have me chained to you,
tied to your lust.

 

I am a prisoner to desire,
and you hold the key.

 

I am confined
to your compliments.

 

I am attached to
your attraction to me.

 

You are guard over my heart,
but it's not safe with you.

 

You want to control me;
you want to possess me.

 

You call me your "sexy one"
because you want to own me.

 

You don't wish to protect me;
you don't even care for me.

 

To you, I am an object
used for your pleasure.

 

Yet I find it hard to leave
the cage you designed for me.

 

I feel locked to you even though
I am free to walk away.

 

We have so much history;
I've nearly served a year here.

 

You are a part of my life now
and losing you would crush me.

 

But I know moving on will be
the only way to obtain peace.
