Open the book
Flip through the pages
Don't give me that look
You haven't been in my cages
A shattered soul
A broken heart
Love has taken such a toll
So hard living life apart
What do the words show
Do they speak of the man
Of my lowest low
Don't you dare claim to understand
You know nothing about me
You don't know the boy
But you begin to see
I feel like your toy
Struggle to break free
You study from outside
You've stolen everything from me
I have no more time to bide
Bars bend and break
You stumble back in fear
A chance that I must take
I can't allow myself to stay here
Stepping through a door
Into a busy street
I wonder what more
Could possibly guide my feet
Then I see her
Across the way
Emotions begin to stir
I never thought I'd see this day
I call her name
And she glances up
Yes the features are the same
Her face my hands cup
Beauty before my eyes
And my heart beats the quickest
When she lets one of her soft sighs
This is my mistress

Sry...
When I write a poem, for a pic, I start with the first thing that pic gives me, from there I move on, allowing my thoughts to go where they will.
