Love Imprisoned - TRI 2

Love wrapped her heart from the first glance,
A tender bond she couldn’t shake,
Would she surrender to the dance?
Fear held her back from what’s at stake.

A tender bond she couldn’t shake,
Though passion called her to explore,
Doubt whispered, "Stay, don’t ask for more."

Would she surrender to the dance?
Or let her fears keep her in place?
Love's pull was strong, yet full of chance.

Fear held her back from what’s at stake,
Her heart ensnared in love’s sweet net,
Prisoner to the love she met.

Under the grip of love she is held prisoner, but fear prevents her from expressing it. You did a difficult task in no time. I feel this form, rather challenging. All the Best.

Hello Jay, Well inked my friend, the paradoxical nature of new love - how it can simultaneously feel like freedom and imprisonment. Wonderful Read! - Blessings, My Friend, Daniel

Must be hard to be afraid of love. I never had that fear.
