Burning, flaming, piercing my cheeks

Knives dig into my flesh

The beatings and torment make me scream with agony

Chained

I am chained. Helpless and lost to the outside world

My ears are covered so I cannot hear of better things

My eyes are blindfolded, shutting my vision from other prospects

I smell nothing, taste nothing

But I definitely feel.

I feel the emotion welling up inside

I want to laugh, cry, scream, all at the same time

Oh God

Tempted ever so

Don't bite the apple, don't give in to such sin

What is sin? I know not anymore

The struggle is intense, which is why I suffer so

Do I suffer needlessly?

But why can I not simply be left alone? I just want you ever so more

The chains will not come off; I feel hopeless

I do not have the key; someone else must set me free

Give me back my life

I struggle against the unseen force

But is it so invisible? Lift the blindfold, allow the ears their desire to listen

The chain clinks at my movement and the temptation dangles before my face

Trying to rise, the chain is short. I am forced backward with haste

I sit in the shadows; the oppressive gloom is upon me

I told myself that I could not feel for you again

Yet I find myself losing the battle, and also the war

Do you play mind games with me? Is none of it real?

Others seem to think we have something, but what is your say?

Show me your mind, don't avoid the answer with your tactics

Give me an honest, sincere answer and I will be content with acceptance or rejection

But please stop toying with me

'Cause it fucking hurts.
