Chains

Each word is a chain

Wrapping around me

Trapping me in this idea

You have created

There are no keys to unlock

Me from your grasp

Only my words

Begging you to unlock

The chains

That you have made

With your words

Every glance you give me

Another barrier

Your eyes as cold as ice

But my eyes have lost their fire

I am trapped

I am no longer trying to get out

All I want is to survive

Please

Unwrap your chains of words

Lower your eyes

Now you know why I can never leave

She's like the piece of hair
That is never in the right place
Why does she even wear that
Why does she look like that
Looking at her
