A Prisoner's Cry for Release

I'm inside a box, held down by the fear that's holding you

My emotions tangled, splayed out on the threads of your doubt

For how can I admit I can feel what you are afraid to feel?

Your restraints become mine... and when I feel a distance

Panic sets in, because I DO FEEL, and it's whole,and clear

Oh, but I don't dare tell you, and you know how my honesty

Can so often get the best of me. How long until I spill?

 

I fear my pens, for my hidden voice will betray me...

When I sing, I can say I like the song, but my words here...

And here it goes, the confession maybe one day you'll read

When the chains have fallen and only flesh remains:

I crave you. I crave your smiling kisses, your timid embrace

Your hesitant voice, your chatter, your uncanny ability

To read what I really want to say through all the filler...

 

I'm inside a box, held down by the fear that you don't crave me

My emotions scattered as the leaves that will soon fall...

I'm tumbling and afraid and I'm afraid you won't let yourself

Your restriant becomes intolerable because I  can't restrain

Headfirst is never the best way to fall, but I could, if you'd let me

I crave you... I crave until my senses burn with these little memories

Of how it felt to finally hold you and look into your eyes and see...

 

You fear me... you fear us... you fear until you may just allow

Those shackles to remain, and keep me here in this lonely box

I can't stay here forever. I need air. Open yourself, open it, open me...

Whether you are opening a gift or a curse to be... we should try

I crave you. I hope you crave me. I  need you to tell me you crave me.

I'm inside a box, tied to a hope that perhaps should not live

Waiting for you to read what I want to say, porque te quiero.

Beautiful. I love the writing style. I can relate to this in a way. We've all been controlled by what someone else thinks in a way. Thanks for submitting this piece.
