I was being strangled
by the lovely words you spoke,
and the tightness of your fingers
wrapped around mine.
I was chained
to you beautiful lies,
and your gleaming eyes.
I was entangled
in the fascination of someone I could trust,
a person I could take my chances with; win or bust.
I was trapped
by the enchantment of your presence,
I realize now that time is of the essence.
and I was then
something I will never be again,
caught.
-i still believe in you
