Captivity
Let me be your prisoner
Than to have freedom
For my heart is numb to your presence
I have seen you in a distance
Teasing me, knowing
I pine for you
Polish me with your wholeness
On my knees if you will
For a chance
Let me experience the restrictions
You necessitate
Than to wonder
With no sense of nature
Deny me not of beauty
But of perpetual
