Captive
Here we are, going around in circles again.
We’re moving to a direction where there’s no definite beginning
And none of us knows yet how or where it will end.
I started crying when I looked into your eyes.
Your vacant expression answered all the questions in my mind.
I assumed it’s the answer.
I wanted to believe it is.
That’s all I need to know.
It is easier that way.
Moving forward will be the next step for me.
But, it tastes like a bitter pill.
I need time to swallow it.
I tried to run away from you.
Unexpectedly, you held me in your arms,
Embraced me tightly,
I almost couldn’t breathe.
Then, you softly whispered the words I long to hear:
“Don’t go. It’s gonna be alright.”
