Love

Strung up by chains
Hanging from my feet
Gag in my mouth
You demand me to speak

I'll take your lashings
Bear all these scars
Until you get tired
Of lifting the whip

Blood runs in rivers
I long to tell my soul
Because that will somehow
Help me become whole

I'll take your lashings
Bear all these scars
Until you get tired
Of lifting the whip

You look confused
By now I should be screaming
But I just hang there
Ear to ear beaming

I am willing to wait
There is no rush
There will always be time
To say I love you so much

I'll take your lashings
Bear all these scars
Until you get tired
Of lifting the whip

And then just maybe
You'll unlock my chains
Realize I won't run
And want to know my pain
