The Prey
I wonder how the plants are growing on the windowsill a few cities away.
It's said I'm a friend but they still pretend and I wonder if I'm just the prey.
I can't even know; my thoughts cannot show and besides, what else could I say?
I was offered a threat and t'was said I'd regret, and so I backed down and obeyed.
All else aside, my mind still abides and amends I still want to this day.
Because this is so, I will not let go, and so what this means is: I stay.
No please don't wince, and you cannot convince me to do this any other way.
This angered it so, and I really don't know what kind of a price I will pay.
But no matter what, I've a feeling in my gut and I know that I'll be okay.
