i chose to enter,
but not to escape.
chained to its centre,
heartstrings like tape.
he fell for another,
but called me The One.
he drifted further,
love is all or none.
i bled out,
felt the heart attack.
i never casted doubt,
but faith he did lack.
he held me in a chamber,
but his heart housed four.
each lash left me tamer,
but all he ever wanted was more.
