To be loved completely, that’s how it’ll be. When I see you- and you see me. Drawn to each other, an understatement- I’d gladly let you lock me in your basement. Heart happily racing when I hear your footsteps, as you come down the creaking stairs- To see you flash a yellow smile, as you always find me down here. I crawl towards you, hands chained to the bleak wall- the jewelry chains, beautiful aren’t they all? That’s what you call them, when I dare to ask why I'm not let out- To be fair, I do have a small window lookout. Maybe it’s true, I don’t really want to leave- I’m fed, I have a bed, and room to breathe. I’m special to you here, and the world is a cruel, cruel place, so really by going away- it’d be a huge waste. To be chosen completely, not conditionally. I’m very much quite sure- that's how you see me.

This was supposed to be a cutesy poem, but then it turned into something more dark... haha
