Shackled..

Is freedom so hard to find

From bonds, yet harder to flee

Like chains that cut into my hands

I struggle, as you laugh with glee

I struggle still as you laugh

While blood seeps from tethered wrists

Yet rays of hope still burn bright

As tears gush down my cheeks.

The dark cloaks me in its cold

And I dream of shackles freed

You rage as wrath fills your soul

While with freedom I quietly tread

The dawn brings with it another day

Chained to bonds, yet harder to flee

Still I struggle with all my might

 And hope as you laugh with glee

Betrayed..

The darkness weighs heavy in my heart

A thousand knives pierce its soul

Blinded by promises that overwhelm the mind

Shrouded by folly and foul.

Yet hope flutters her sprightly wings

Doubt etches rays of trust

Caught in this ever frightening whirlpool

That threatens but all to dust.

Let the pain burn ever more brighter

Until this heart is but left stoned

Waves crashing on its cold surface

May perish decried and condoned.

Still hope flutters her sprightly wings

Igniting flames of love

As tears drip down unwary cheeks

And the heavens break above.
