Mortal Chains I am Bound
By Sarah Hafermann
Written July 2006
Here I sit, alone without thee
I left him for you, set free for you to see.
I stand here screaming for your attention,
Begging for you to again glance my way, to give me your affection.
But I get nothing but silence, no response at all.
You relinquish my pain, never return my calls.
You said when I was with him that you regretted not fighting for me
But now I sit alone without either of you, waiting for your decree.
Why did you tell me that when I was so content?
It ruined what I did have with him and caused me to feel poignant.
I could only think of your advocating words of sadness.
And its left me now dealing with all of this internal madness.
He has moved on to the one person I couldn’t compete with
She was always begging for him to join her side, like a sith.
Now he is with her, and as I try to be gleeful in their joy,
While I sit here waiting for not a man, but a silly little boy.
One who says things when he should just keep it internal.
You were always able keep everything else in that infernal.
Now I sit alone, sad as one is allowed.
Fallen to my knees, bent and bowed.
I must learn to be patient as I am at your mercy,
And try to deal with this continuous controversy.
I will keep my mortal chains tight tonight
For my heart won’t give up on this internal fight.
