Imprisoned Alone

Your words are false and hold no love
You say them as though empty words are enough
Your chains around me rattle and groan
You may say it but you don’t love me at all

When I was little, unaware
These shackles ‘round me made me feel safe and calm
Now they keep me locked and imprisoned
For nothing more than a revolting displays

You wish for a perfect picture
I cannot give that to you since it is not me
You tried to create a ‘perfect’ me
That is not who I am and will never be

Now I lay here so feeble and frail
Under the shadow of your powerful form
My feeble attempts to thwart your fist
They are no good against your powerful blows

Tears are all what fill my darkened eyes
Your anger is all that you offer to me
My cries are drowned by your dreadful laugh
I shiver as you close the door
You’ll be back, once more
