My Lover/Executioner

by Ashleigh Skye   Jul 20, 2005


You've locked me in this cell,
a million times before,
only to break down,
and then create me a door.

A door to help me escape,
to help set me free,
but every time you do,
you then create a new key.

The key to lock me in,
the key to set me loose,
and every time you set me free,
you have a new excuse.

An excuse to why you had to,
act the way you did,
you always say you're sorry,
but now I see you're just a little kid.

But if you're a little kid,
what does that make me,
by giving you the power,
to continue with this cruelty.

I used to think I loved you,
but now I'm not so sure,
because these walls do everything,
but make me feel secure.

Maybe one day soon,
you will finally see,
that this "tough love" your giving,
is slowly killing me.

My friends say I shouldn’t love you,
but I don't know if I can,
cause of the person I fell in love with,
that kind and gentle man.

I see he is no longer here,
but I still don't give up hope,
cause when he does come back to me,
I know that we will cope.

So slowly I cry a tear,
for the man I used to know,
and another tear for feeling like,
I'm living on Death Row.

But still I wait for this man,
to come and take me away,
and when he does I know for sure,
the skies will no longer be gray.
