The grasp of love is iron tight,

Holding me in my place,

I struggle for liberation,

My wrists begin to turn rufescent,

Tears escape my eyes and my lips begin to quiver,

I scream in fear,

The thoughts of getting attached consume my mind,

Love's hold locks on tighter,

It's too late,

Your image is blinding,

I can no longer think clearly,

I vociferously cry in anguish,

Secluded in a tiny cell of conflicted emotions,

I look down and see bruises scattered upon my arms,

Time passes by,

I brandish the key of reality and free myself,

As an epiphany comes to mind,

That you,

Were what I called 'Love'

But I was fooled by your disguise.
