Constriction Poem by Megan Vue

I gaze around me
And I see this man
He's not a stranger to me
Nor is he my enemy
But he's holding me tightly
Like a lover on a drug

This addiction I'm in
It's poisoning my mind
Let me go!
Please I tell you so..
But the strange man does not let me go
He has grown an attachment to me

I'm seeping into his chant
Still wondering why I'm with him
I'm a parrot stuck in a cage
He won't let me free
Even if I try
Is it obsession or is it love?

I think I love him...or do I?
Young as I am
I shouldn't be with this man
No matter how far I run
He's always there after me
What do I do?

Should I just let him love me?
Or be free from this bond?
Time will tell for itself
I can't control my emotions
Even if I want to

Someday I will be free
But right now just let me be
