Entrapment

Borne of oceans,
tears for the lovelorn;

Yearning for freedom
long-since stolen,

stripped of my essence
and forced to inhabit
a shell I barely recognize.

Unable to escape
the stranglehold
of your gentle hands,

smothered by confines
of mortality.

Author notes

One might say it's personal...
