somebody's dungeon

I'm captured by your broken heart
your pleas that ring out strong
your inability to accept the truth
won't make this love seem wrong.

I want to do what's right of course
but where do we draw the line
what's right within my lonely space
is only right sometimes.

I'd stay only out of obligation
this doesn't seem to make you see
that my heart is elsewhere, and in love
with illusion's reality.

The strength you took from my being
pushed me to the brink of reason
now by the world I'm seen as warped
accused of marital treason.

Should I go, or should I stay
that's not the question that you pose
you want the staying, void of love
a withering, defiant rose.

I can't think straight anymore
I must push on and be steadfast
please don't blame yourself or me
sometimes love just doesn't last.

WhiteRose

Love seduces joy from the heart

Know the feeling but its a nice way 2 tell someone I suppose

If your afraid of the dark, then why did you come?

I love the withered rose image. And you've been writin' a lot!
