Kryptonite
The swell of emotion, Circles my heart and mind. You’re like a love potion, Cosmically stuck trying to find. I feel broken, A mere token, In a game I never wanted to play. I wish my love for you would fade, But instead, It stays taking a piece of me each day. My heart turned cold, As I grew old, Fourteen years later, and you still have this hold. Tight, Your hold is tight. In control, Never letting go, Your hand wraps around my throat, Your eyes staring down at me intently, Begging, Teasing, Knowing you were leaving. Yet still, Your hold never lets me go. Just for today, They say, Yet a day without you seems like forever. Hopelessly in love, With someone who will never love me back. It’s like I am having a heart attack, Clutching my chest, Gasping for that last breath. You’re like kryptonite, Desperately running away, Knowing ultimately, you’ll have to pay, The final price. My soul. A soul bond I never asked...
