Stockholm Syndrome

by xToBeWithYoux   Jul 21, 2008


All the things you have done to me,
life you stole from my heart,
imagination you stole from my dreams,
gone. Without a trace.

'Why can't you leave me alone?'

Anger pulsing through my body,
distorting the world around of me,
I can see your face in my mind,
too far out of my control.

'Why won't you take me home?'

The chair glides past your sombre face,
wood splintering on the wall,
shouting gets louder, they're panicking
now, I won't ever leave you.

'Why would you leave me alone?'

Torture and hate are the ones for you,
they make you feel on top of the world,
but no matter what hell you put me through,
I will stand by you, loyal as always.

'Why can't you just go home?'

    "All the things you have done to me,
    The life you stole from my heart,
    And the imagination you stole from my dreams,
    Gone. Without a trace."

    ^^ I didn't like the use of fillers. Maybe :

    ^^I don't think you need "the" on the third line.

    "Torture and hate are the ones for you,
    They make you feel on top of the world,
    But no matter what hell you put me through,

    ^^Favourite stanza of the piece. So much hurt mixed with loyalty that it makes for an interesting affect.

    I liked the single lines, read together they were line another verse of the piece.
