Transparent bars imprison him in my weak heart

As easily as my spirit is broken, it all falls apart

Taking me captive and drowning me in unrelenting depths

Wanting more, needing more

But it is unattainable

I am caught in a passage way,

Growing darker
Growing colder
Growing smaller

A journey with no end

He will never be mine
Always an arms length away

I am unable to draw him near to me
And as easily as he breaks the paper chains away,
He tapes them back together.

a well penned verse. it's like going back because you just can't help yourself. i like the image of paper chains and taping them up again. very well worded.

i look forward to catching more of your work floating around in here.< !signature-->

I remember those paper chains, and how easily they broke. Excellent writing here. I like your use of uncommonly used items to explain relationships. Take care.
