Killing Me

My silence
It's killing me.

My mouth has been sealed with silver-lined string,
To remain silent it what is asked of me.
So I obey her plea...

My aching
It's killing me.

My body is being held captive by arms of security's bliss,
In their grasp I must stay safe in it's sound-ness.
So I obey her wish...

My cry
It's killing me.

My eyes are strapped open by paper-thin needles,
I cannot miss a second of these details.
So I obey her tales.

My love
It's killing me.

My heart is being pulled by one person's two fists,
Grabbing a hold of me and tightening without dismiss.
So I obey her list.

Myself and I
I'm killing me.

My body is aching and crying and I cannot help it,
For I am helplessly in love-
(My mouth has been silenced)
-and there is no way out.
