Ropes
chained
it’s animosity
and i know he is not mine
but the wolf longs to be free
i feel his agony in the form of anger
the ropes that hold us down
in every way keep us bound
and i hear his cry to be released
still what can i do
nothing
what forgiveness can he offer
to me a passerby
that wont loose him
it’s as though I’ve committed a crime
and that’s how my heart feels
if they refuse to claim him
tell me then
why do they shame him so
with guilt when he’s done no wrong
and now he can only sing the saddest song
a song of longing
and a song of loneliness
already held down
worsened by rejection
lack of affection
he is now weighted by depression
and no one else will listen
so i mourn along with him
the days of running free
i miss with him too
hearing laughter
and feeling loved
now long gone
by the binding ropes rubbing us raw
