Siege

Call it a gambling addiction because I’m gambling with your freedom.
But I’m calling to that place I found in you, an absolute Eden.

Maybe I’m falling into ruin, thinking a thousand things, awful things.
I’m still imagining those things we talked about, the skin to skin to skins.
Do you still have them? Those rings?
I have yours, and every moment I’m alone I feel the need to sin.

To murder the man that is keeping you hostage from me.
Why won’t he let our love just be?

I’m addicted to the way that you brought me joy and a smile.
I don’t, I’m not, wanting or ready to let you go like this. Not like this.
If you had fallen out of love, if your passion drained away, I wouldn’t feel vile.
But still I have to linger, waiting to give a true love’s kiss.

I want to wring his neck with my small, small hands.
He is a dragon hoarding the damsel from all invading lands.

But does he deserve to keep you? Locked away so far from my reach?
No, I think not. I think I need you now. I think I will save you now.
I will lay your tower to waste, the dragon will be slain in the siege.
I will save you, I will love you forever, this is my vow.
