Hold You Prisoner II

I pace inside my cage

And my distress

Makes you pace outside

But it means nothing to me

Anymore.

I rescued you

Taught you love

Fought for you

When you had lost

I made you 

What you are today

And you in turn

Made me what I am

Even now I look at you

Helpless and part ashamed,

Your eyes begging me

For reassurance.

I give it to you

Sort of.

My tears I won't waste

On you

Instead a benign smile 

Plays at my lips

I see the doubt dawn on you

The Fear claw at your heart

You don't get it

You never will

That I smile because

You needed a cage 

To imprison me

But I, I hold you prisoner

With my smile Alone,

And guess what?

My smile says it all.
