please just try
but you wouldn't
couldn't
and simply sighed
saying why would you
the entire time
I was praying to be
released
from the jail
your love puts me in
Just let me go
I can't escape
on my own
just let me go
so I might die
another day
so I might fly
another way
but I sit here now
in my throes
of the silence
of the absence
of the refusal
to love
that you have woven
with the promise
of never leaving
break me
make me what you want
instead
you leave me
untouched
unloved
unwanted
as good as dead
