Entrapped
Deborah Levine
Entrapped
Synthia Shelby
Lying beneath
A rubble of lies
My heart bleeds.
My soul dies.
Fear, manipulation,
And hatred served.
Do I deserve
To be treated
This way?
This disdain
I can never repay.
No power. No control
No passion. No heat.
Our love grows cold.
Naked, unraveled
By your need.
Trapped, caught,
No Longer, Free.
A knotted, painful
Web of deceit.
Fidelity a memory
In bed with a thief.
Mincing and dicing
My faith, my heart.
Trampling hope
Tearing it apart.
Tangled, twisted,
Wrapped around your finger.
Frozen by loneliness
I stay, I linger.
I yearn
To run away.
Your sweet words
Beckon me to stay.
Praying to the
One above.
Held hostage
By your love.
