Confinement

Invisible chains
hold me hostage...
To a past I ran from
long ago!

As I continue to run...
faster and faster
I can't help but realize,
there's nowhere to go!

My haunting yesterdays
have forged a narrow path
that I simply must follow...
Empty and hollow!

Empty of love.
Hollow of attraction.
If only I could break these chains...
or, loosen them by a fraction!
