You have a hold on me.
I cannot run too far
before you pull me back in.
You drag me to the ground,
bringing me to my knees
with your forceful grasp.
I thought I was strong enough
to walk away from you,
but your touch weakens me.
I feel you move through me.
You have power over me,
and you take advantage of it.
I can’t seem to let you go
even though you keep me down.

You have a hold of me.
I cannot run too far
before you pull me back in.
You drag me to the ground,
throwing me to my knees
with your influence.
I thought I was strong enough
to walk away from you,
but your touch weakens me.
You have power over me,
and you take advantage of it.
I can’t seem to let you go
even though you bring me down.
