Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps

Perhaps this is the price I must pay? I fear there is no way to break free, When I need to push you far away. When I succumb to your whispered “Stay”, Even then I know you’re bad for me. Perhaps this is the price I must pay? I cleave to your heart as sun to day, Yet cry as I fall on bended knee, When I need to push you far away. Silenced by you when I want to say “Begone, no more, please just let me be”. Perhaps this is the price I must pay? I feel entrapped, like a creature fey, As you claim to love me but don’t see When I need to push you far away. Even as I want to capture prey, Your animal heart beats so cruelly. Perhaps this is the price I must pay? When I need to push you far away.
