Conflict

Cage these feelings

Round them up

Chain them down

Don't let them escape

Hear them cry out

My desires

Are my own

Although I turn

A blind eye

To the misdeeds

Of my heart

I know better

Than to let the feelings out

To express my feelings

Would jeopardize

All we've got

Such great bonds

So strong now

But can they withstand

The fire of desire
