Naked

By Aurain

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

I can’t sleep I’m all chocked up I’m thinking of you You’ve trained me good Chained me to the bed I’m all tied up -feels like I’m all alone The knot held tight Razor fangs can’t shred Tomorrow is another day My dignity is shame Darkened skies Black all around Clothes on the floor The door is locked My soul is tempered My will is strong My feet are cold Reaching for a savior My tears slide down All in void Down into the deep I fall My lips are sealed My eyes are tired My bones are weary Don’t play me for a fool You and I both know I’m not old enough for these rules In a circular run I’ll tell you straight Its time to quit -I keep bending Freedom is what I crave I’ve done and paid Through sweat and blood -it’s all dried up I want to live I want to breathe I need my space -release me These thoughts of you Keep breeding in my head I can’t shake you loose Clinging to my heels Etching in stone I wish to be cold I wish I didn’t have to give This instinct killsI feel like this is unfinished. It still needs to be refined. Written February 16th, 2002 © on Feb 16 2002 10:24 AM PST   20 • 0 • 1
