BOUND
by DAMAGODDESS
have you melted into me?
crawled through the mire to believe
in everything you've lost and can be?
have you broken yet, my sweet?
from this precious one kneeling before me,
eyes etched in the past beg to be freed
from a lifetime of doubt and invisibility.
how could anyone fail to see you, my love?
have you let go of your chains?
tied your mind to the ecstasy of pain,
a place you can at last feel sane?
have you surrendered yet, my slave?
from this divine soul next to me,
a heart carved in sadness and silent pleas
from enduring too much pointless indignity.
how could anyone be so unkind to my love?
have you embraced what you are?
looked inside and learned your worth
from the change loving me is bringing forth?
have you accepted yet, my pet?
from this amazing man in front of me,
a time lived in darkness and beauty unseen
from endless shadows of uncertainty.
how could anyone fail to hold you, my dear?
have you satiated your need?
intoxicated your will and let yourself bleed
from the wounds of abuse and tenacity?
have you healed yet, my beloved possession?
from this treasured lover owned by me,
a bond forged out of the shattered dreams
from the lashes of others' toxicity.
how could anyone fail to love you?
