Save Us

"Finally you're here,

Did you take what we asked of you?"

                                 ***

We are dying,

Save us from ourselves,

Save us from our lovers...

                -We can no longer breathe freely,

Stifled by their obsessions,

We make excuses for their actions,

Truthfully, they need to be stopped,

And we need to be freed...

                  -The pursuit to never lose us has gone too far,

We are being strangled while immersed beneath the depths of waters,

We feel as their nails pierce our throats...

                        -We are dying

Our shackles are unbreakable,

Their questioning becomes ever more frequent,

So why do we stay?

Simply because we can't leave,

So we remain behind,

Becoming their slaves;

Forever bound by our lover's love...

                                        ***

"So you did bring it,

Well great, please take us out of our misery,

End it all;

Save us from ourselves,

Save us from our lovers."
