Home Confinement
Love Her, Can't Leave Her
Shackled to the bed, doubtful I’ll ever go.
Keep it to myself. Force it to fall asleep.
If I’ll be able to leave, I’ll never know.
//
Face down into the solacing pillow.
And I can’t ever let her see me weep.
Shackled to the bed, doubtful I’ll ever go.
//
Amputating my limbs. They won’t let me grow.
Or receive anything from my light upkeep.
If I’ll be able to leave, I’ll never know.
//
She matters the most. Keep your own needs down low.
She’ll kill herself if they don’t stay in the deep.
Shackled to the bed, doubtful I’ll ever go.
//
And don’t tell the others. They don’t need to know.
Keep it all to yourself and don’t let it seep.
If I’ll be able to leave, I’ll never know.
//
Silent. Stoic. Secret. Don’t make it a show.
It’s you alone forever in twilight sleep.
Shackled to the bed, doubtful you’ll ever go.
If you’ll be able to leave, you’ll never know.
