Chains

It took only few words for you to become part of my life,
So why would it take more for you to leave?
Nothing's holding you here with me,
No lock, no home, no ring,
It could take a single moment in time,
For you to look in my eyes and feel empty,
To see no future, no happiness,
Just to remember the old feeling you wish were real again for me,
The butterflies at every thought of me,
The smile at every mention of my name,
Love is a secret, never seen only felt,
But when I see you I see love has a name,
I feel love deep inside my heart,
And I watch it grow with every moment gone,
Wrapped around me like a chain,
Weighing me down, keeping me grounded, no moving on,
Unable to run, unable to walk,
Solid and unbreakable, no release,
I am held in my place,
All I can do is watch the love increase,
Watch it take over my being,
Feel my heart pound so hard it almost breaks my chest,
Shake uncontrollably at the knees,
Gasping as I try to catch my breath,
As I try to speak I am on mute,
As I try to leave I am held still,
As I try to change I stay the same,
And know I always will,
Heart ache and pain,
Staring into your eyes,
Fears so huge they over power me,
My worry I can't disguise,
You SAY you're mine always,
You SAY your love is true,
You SAY you won't ever leave me,
That's what you SAY not what you DO,
I'll never know what's in your heart,
Never feel how much you love me,
But whether our futures together or not,
I have to wait and see,
So I stand here in my chains,
Forever watching, forever in love,
Always trying to love you as best I can,
One day I'll know if it's enough...
