Release
by Beau Cameron
I am bound by
Your honey skin
Twilight eyes
The curl of your lips
Click of your nails.
I am bound by
The trail of your fingers
The sound of your voice
Rooftop rendezvous
Stolen moments.
I am bound by
“Stay with me
I’ll die if you go.
I need you here.
Don’t make me
pull the trigger.”
I am bound by
Ugly sobbing
Silent tears
Scars on your wrists
Fingers down my throat
Pointless hope.
“She’s wrecking you,
abusing you.
This isn’t healthy
and it isn’t safe.
You’ll die if you stay.”
I am freed by
Long night talks
Supportive friends
Pain in my chest
Forced disclosure
Painted walls
Sleepless weeks
Doctors
Pills
Love
Talking
Trying
Caring
Wanting
Healing
Leaving.
I am not bound
to you.
