Revision of old poem. Kept Here Willingly You left me here With this brown scorching sting That is red and flaring Beaten and placed into restraints A throbbing chest along with shady eyes Auburn fire burns behind them How exactly I have been placed here I have now forgotten While staring at meals for two One only half eaten I'm left alone in helplessness But I can not forget the pain Of which that has trapped me here Blisters upon my flesh Cover me like a wool blanket I place my fragile hands in the damp air Trying to grasp something, anything Then finding nothing to grab a hold to I can feel the insects that are the ropes Burning into my flesh It is you that are keeping me here Inside of this beautiful agony You left me here with a single tear on your face You're not coming back to let me up Yet I know that I could untie the knots if I truly willed it
