Hostage

Trapped inside this hollow lair
on my knees without a care
a cold, desolate place
the rain leaking down my face

A darkened force holds me here
I want to leave but here comes the fear
solitude and loneliness
I cannot run from this

His chains are too strong to break
my heart can't hold their weight
I'm waiting for love or a chance to escape
but outside this cave no one awaits

Confined by what I once knew
inside his idle heart
no one to turn to
no matter which way I part

This used to be my sanctuary
now its getting harder to carry
a weightless love once there
now one to inept to bear

Alleviate the pressure
To whom do I turn?
no one to trust to learn
what burns inside me

I need to find a way out
I'm not the kind to travel such distances from doubt

Bound by his veins, his love flows deep
Held so close to his heart
I need to let it bleed

As numbness comes, I'll let it grow weak
Time is the gift of relief
