Bondage

Why don’t you say something?

Something? Anything?

Why do you think I look up at the stars?

Why do you think the blood runs in my veins?


Why do you think I take my tied body out to the world?

Why do you think I wait an endless wait?

Why would my parched lips sing your praise?

When there’s nothing to say.


Why don’t you say something?

Would you rather I walked away?

Unannounced? Unrepentant?

Unsure of where my feet lead me?


Why would you not let me be?

Alone?

Why would you keep coming back to my dreams?

They turn into nightmares.


Why would you not lift your curse?

Why would you mock in rare glee?

Why would you not let me live?

For once?
