strings attached

consume me, my love

let me satisfy that hunger

meet my touch

scream out that need

I am the echo

of your filtered heart,

I am the short breath

lingering under a whisper

I am a raced pulse

I am a desire

I am you

Do you see those ties?

The thick rope, binding me down?

I can hardly move because of you

so still in my desperation

tied down by you

But did you know, did I ever tell you this?

I like to be held captive

by your touch,

I like to be smoldered by that love,

my friends tell me to walk away

but they don't know, the way I do

they don't even have a clue

how good you are

what's the use of freedom

if I can't have you near

I don't like the numbness

that comes from your absence

look at me, there is no joy

from me without you

Can you hear yourself, when I am not right beside you?

Feels like nothing, doesn't it?

I know, I feel the same

Why is it, that I don't exist without you

and you perish when I am no more?

What do I do,

when there is no you in the air that I breathe?

Why do we perish without one another?

Why is there no more music left?

Why can't I hear the tunes?

I am tied down by you

but dear, I see the same ropes on you
