Dragged and drugged
Tucked in, or flagged
Despite all your attempts
I know you’ve not always felt this gagged
Through the linen lines strapped
You can’t just hide your thoughts
for me
they are like the unknown mapped
There is a lot that can’t be said
about a knot, so fiercely tight
Each time I heard the suffering in your head
so chillingly aching you had cried
- though I still see us in moonlight
holding our hands so save and cosy,
our only weapon for shimmering fear outside
we could free us from the nosy -
Docked and dozed.
Wrapped in, so locked
From within you’ve been
I know not forever you’ll feel this shocked
Through a minor choir choked.
You can’t just live your life
like me
you need dry goals for the soaked
There were so many keys that didn’t fit
into your soul, pierced and sealed
When I found a solution my whole life lit
but by then our love was already kneeled...
