Prison

Prison

I know about your boundaries

meant to keep me out

How is it that someone can both come too close

and not close enough?

Inside, inside

Clenching my soul 
You are a prison

clawing at my skin

longing to escape from screaming flesh

Hold me

inside, inside

Whisper softly

when all I hear is her voice

I know what she takes

inside, inside

Boundaries are a prison 

meant to keep me out

Whisper softly

But don't come too close 

Don't come 
inside...
