Why do you keep me in this place?
Laying pathways of treasure boxes with tarnished padlocks is your game.
What have I to gain from this?
Slaps to the face disguised as bliss.
I can never be truly fulfilled
Because I fear I may be killed.
I'm unwilling to part with my heart,
Because I worry it is only a plaything.
Am I wasting it on you?
I admit I trusted you with ease
Because I wanted to please you.
My kindness came without tether,
But you flaunt as if you are better.
Why do I even try?
I don't know how to cry.
Do my cracks make you smile?
Do my stinging tears excite you?
I'm glad my grief warms you
As it leaves me dying inside.
I will not swallow my pride.
