[ 1. 12. 15 ]
your chains are a bit strong on me;
physically and emotionally
i loathe how much i've come to need you,
and how i'll sacrifice my sanity, my pride
just to keep you.
i despise how you can just gaze in my eyes for awhile
and i must fight the melting of my core
and my weakening resistance to your hand on my thigh
right there, where it sends sparks straight to my stomach -
fight more,
so i don't lose that last bit of sanity that tells you 'no'.
you're the cause of the most beautiful
scars i carry in my psyche;
shackles to your essence are all i wear,
remembering when i wasn't marked by you
ain't something i'm capable of anymore, my love.
burns from the burning passion this love brings,
the smoldering defiance we have against this freezing world
all char me so bad, where my head can't stand it
and i can't differentiate light from dark at times,
but this bondage of the best, inescapable kind runs deeper than loyalty.
maybe it even runs as deep as madness ; but what do i know?
we're all chained to something in this life here, be it our situations,
our struggles
our sources of joy
or our miseries
so nobody,
nobody
can judge that
i chose to be shackled
to you, with you, for you.
