Captive of My Own Heart

I've been a captive for so long

....please let me go!

untie me from this torture!

You...you tricked me!!

How could you?

I can never trust you again!

You...my own heart!

My own heart placed me in this prison!!

for 7 months I've been trapped

I've been drugged

injected with an ecstacy that caused this infatuation

please stop this madness

I don't want to be here anymore

every pain I feel

only brings me back to a deceiving happiness

this isn't right

every drug promotes my addiction

this ludacris addiction

Hear me out!

let me go!

set me free!

    Nicely done, I feel the format sort of distacts from the flow of the piece. But it is well worth the read. Good one

    Wow. I loved this! I once felt this way before. I like how this is so angsty, it can relate to many people, I'm guessing. I really enjoyed this poem. It was marvelous. Your words were extravegant, and made me feel what you were trying to portray. I absolutely loved this! I hope to read more of your work sooner or later! It would really be a privilage. By the way, I enjoyed the title b ecause it really matches this poem. It's what grabbed my attention from the "Newly added" list of poetry on AP. Glad I had a chance to read this.

    If you would gladly return the favor, I would absolutely appreciate it. I would hope you'd read my "The Realm Of My Dreams" at allpoetry.com/Poem/1817277 I wrote it with all my heart, and I hope you like it as much as I liked your poem.

    Take Care,
