-Fiction-

Based on a story I knew long ago. 

To one I once thought I knew

.

In my defense 

I didn't know 

What would come of trying

But that's just how things go.

You picked me up

And let me out of that cage

But I got the haunting feeling,

Freedom couldn't come that way.

Chains still hold me down

But now they're locked to you

My soul's a lost cause because

I didn't see through

Your shameless lies

Your smiling face

But that's what I get for trying

To get out of that cage.

Now I've got red hot timer

Ticking in my ear

Screaming "Get out of this place now!"

"It's so much worse here"

But I notice your arm

Coil round my neck

I never saw comfort feel more treacherous.

Stuck in your cycle

Of hateful charity

Shouldn't have accepted your help that would trap me 

Just for your fun.

Signed, Your victim.
