The feelings inside, shackled; locked in a chest
Subjected to imprisonment – A life sentence
Could not be manifested, one-sided they were
As my heart was held hostage in your oblivion
Scared of the consequences of my admission
Of your reaction – The ultimate rejection?
My mind indecisive, fickle were my strength
The truth, like daggers through my soul
Shaking my existence from head to toe
Had to be revealed but remained a mystery
Unsolved still, as you moved on with your life
And I let myself drown, willingly, once more
Roaming, driven by wanderlust
Conquering new empires, a new endeavor everyday
Or just lost in darkness, unable to find my way back
