Sharing Tears


                 
when you & I were younger
                      and our blood was flowing hotter
                            you & I together
                      sharing moments from our days
                            meeting for a frolic
                      holding each other, arms entwined,
                      somewhere in those moments
                            a part of me was captured

                            I’m still the prisoner
                            you still hold the key

                    the sun has shined across my cell-days
                    i’v tried to go on living as tho
                            you didn’t matter
                    but I catch glimpses of my cage bars
                                now & then

                            the wise of all the ages
                            warned me of the tortures
              Desire could inflict, I thot I was beyond it
                            in my hedonistic way

                            within desire’s seeds
                            are all the tears I reap today
