Suffocation

Why do you follow me
Oh lock and chain
Tangled up neatly
Get off of me 
Let me be free
She has the key
Its been 4 days
Where have you gone
Left me tied up and squirming 
On my own
Why wont she use it
Is it to keep my arms down
Would the embrace be to much
Why would you 
It’s enough to just keep me at bay
Why I am so loud, when you can hear 
Use it,Use it, Use it, Use it
Was I not clear
Because it is starting to hurt 
Feels so tight 
Finally ready to break free
Just use the key please
Am I the only one that see’s
My rusted chain with the new lock
