Willingly Captured
Chain me with your eyes, so dark and endless.
On me as mine on you.
I am captured willingly.
Laying low to convince my flying heart I’m grounded.
Keep me quietly, completely, behind your unlocked door.
I’ve not been here before.
Trap me, have me as I take you in,
for I am your captivated prisoner.
Wish to tie down the escaping night
and elude the searching morn which sets me free from you.
