Hostage

Subtle heartbeat,
Sunken moon,
Drifting music,
Lonely tune.

Crystal teardrops,
Ruby eyes,
Satin lips,
Softened lies.

Mourning nights,
Dreaded days,
Sinking deep,
Into the haze.

Primal fears,
Mortal life,
Silky skin,
Tender knife.

Wasted hatred,
Fading time,
Holding on,
Would be a crime.

Caged bird,
Who does not see,
There is no lock,
Fly now, free.
