TIED UP

TIED UP ... Tied Up

emotionally tied to you
secure knot in a noose
red ribbon 'round my neck
diamond band on my ring finger

silk fabric has me bound
attached at hip and heart
one-legged race to pain

handcuffed to your fist
hell swallowed the key

chain gang grips my ankles

chastity belt clasps my waist
you hold the key hostage

arrow through my back
head lodged inside my heart
it beats to your command

cords cut Freedom's wrists
this jacket clings too tight
breathless in this embrace
there is no escape.
