Chains
Since eyes laid sight, since the story had begun,
I became shackled to you, chained as one,
Never really knowing this, foolish youth,
Embracing the error, denying the truth.
Time and time and time and time,
As though poet in word became stuck on rhyme,
Parry and riposte, a never ending fable,
A chapter repeating, willing but unable.
Seeing the chains that tether me to you,
Once denied me truth, charade played through,
Dancing around the issue, chain restricts,
Sorry state of mind, this story depicts.
Unshackle me, I'm being held back,
A train to derail, To depart from track,
There's so much to offer, but I remain in chains,
Sorry story soon to end, to vanquish these pains.
