Captive

I was so drunk on you

That I couldn’t see

All the darkened places

You were leading me.

I gave you all the power

You used it against me

A prisoner held hostage

Ignorantly believing, “I’m free.”

Night into days, days into weeks

My drunken bliss began to fade

Senses clearing, but still impaired

I glimpsed reality behind the facade.

Your scent washed over me

Choking me, burning my lungs

Time stopped in your cold blue eyes

A windowless soul forever young.

Your icy voice resonates

Sends shivers down my spine

A love once pure and innocent

Now more demonic than divine

I was so drunk on you

That I couldn’t see

Our addicting love affair

Would lead to the death of me.
