It cripples, it maims -
The anxiety from the pain
Remains
A burden too heavy to bear
As you crush my soul,
Giving reoccurring nightmares
Like Delilah Holding locks of hair.


The weight of the world on my shoulders -
Like a tomb enclosing with boulders.
Feeling like life has gotten colder,
As the heat of my life smolders
The numbing sensation begins
As you incorporate your nasty sins -
Anxiety grips me tight,
Like a never-ending fight.

Whispering in my ear,
All my worries, all my fears.
From the scars that hide my tears.
Abandonment with doubt -
your words keep ringing out.

Bound by restraints of pain -
My heart you've damn near slain.
I'm like a prisoner wrapped in chains
Watching lingering shadows of grace -
Unsteadily dance from this place.

You cripple my mind, cast me away -
Envelope me with poisonous traits.
A constant reminder, you took my love in vain.
