Hostage

LOVE, It whispers softly to me "come and play", as it teases me,

The root of all my pain and yet the source of all my joy. I want it so bad, I need it now,

I can smell it, so close, my mouth waters in anticipation, yet so far, it eludes me yet again.

But this is simply the story of my life,,,me and the hunt for love.

Its an ongoing sequel that takes me inside the deepest depths of my own soul.

It's an illusive luxury, that has the power to drag me past the heights of the highest mountains, 

Past the depths of the deepest seas, Twice, and still...

It's that dream that make me scream out at night, sweating and scared,

That maybe, just maybe...

It's that prayer, I pray, that I have prayed, morning, noon and night,

that continues to go unanswered...

To you, who will not love me, but continues to drain my soul,

Why?

There's this darkness in me, it gets darker and darker each time I miss,

Each time I try and fail, It weighs me down, making it harder to get back up

It overwhelms my soul, and tortures my spirit, as it holds my heart hostage,

                                                     The price for my release...LOVE.
